With a bit of thought I'd have got the north coast of Greenland, but I wouldn't have got the year right.<br /><br />Kudos is due. :)Chris Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843133350978717556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367053740188758246.post-70775734488127576572013-02-23T09:48:16.508-08:002013-02-23T09:48:16.508-08:00Chris,

But within the pack I think it will be years before we start seeing really odd behaviour.<br /><br />Jyyh,<br /><br />At face value that's a reasonable way to approach the problem. But IR images are a negative - colder is lighter, darker is warmer. That's so that the cold tops of cloud stand out.Chris Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843133350978717556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367053740188758246.post-60218161907634786712013-02-22T18:45:05.919-08:002013-02-22T18:45:05.919-08:00Man, was I way off with the #3 (2012)!

I just ordered these according to brightness imagining darkest to be latest. But on the 2012 image there must be way colder temperatures or maybe thicker batch of ice passing the Kap Morris Jessup exit.jyyhhttp://www.skepticalscience.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367053740188758246.post-3902584320743555912013-02-22T13:50:09.771-08:002013-02-22T13:50:09.771-08:00Chris - I kind of figured which way you were heade...Chris - I kind of figured which way you were headed and agree. It's the reason I commented that I didn't see anything "ice-shattering" in the images.<br /><br />Given that we're still close to hitting the winter maximum ceiling for SIE every year, it should be difficult to see significant changes in a top down view.<br /><br />And since many high latitude lakes freeze over completely in winter, then melt out completely in summer, winter extent can be a very unreliable predictor of extent at minimum.<br /><br />Kevin O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06692943768484857724noreply@blogger.com
