I don't know, however the first five days of this year are the lowest on record since 1979 for NSIDC Extent. And the linear trend fit has an R2 of 0.87 (0 is no fit, 1 is a perfect fit), with a loss of 44,000 kmsq per year. <br /><br />The relationship between overall extent now and that in March follows the long term trends of loss in both periods, but is not strong enough to narrow down the odds any more than common sense expectations: A record low at minimum (March) is possible, but not guaranteed.Chris Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843133350978717556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1367053740188758246.post-55531533819066568692016-01-05T14:40:50.931-08:002016-01-05T14:40:50.931-08:00Hey Chris,

Do you think this trend is going to continue for the rest of the year, or is this just a temporary blip due to that huge storm over the North pole?dreesennoreply@blogger.com
