The issue of what is causing the increased melt season sea ice losses post 2007 is intriguing, there seems to be two candidate players, the ...

New PIOMAS gridded data (effective thickness fields) has been released up to November, hat-tip to Wipneus for letting me know. So I've i...

There was no sea ice rebound in 2013, what happened was variation due to weather, the process underway in the Arctic has not stopped. But th...

I have previously made two predictions, one early in the season, one late. Both were in terms of CT Area, and as CT Area is now clearly past...

The PIOMAS data for August 2013 has been out for a few days, so I'm a bit later than normal (work + a cold), but it's now time to re...

Rather than do an August status post this close to the minimum, when the take-home message of the 2013 melt season is already clear, I'v...

On 6 July I made my final prediction for the CT Area minimum, now at 26 August it's worth seeing how that prediction has done, so far. ...

Now in mid August the potential for 2013 catching up on 2007 or 2011 is remote in my opinion, so it's worth explaining why I think that ...

PIOMAS Volume is now available from the main series, I use the term 'main series' to differentiate from the gridded data, the main s...

NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis data for July is now available, so it is possible to assess what the atmospheric state has been in July, and for the su...

The full data for June are now available for Cryosphere Today Area (CT Area). As usual I'm still waiting for NCEP/NCAR reanalysis to pro...

Looking at CT Area anomalies and the US Navy's HYCOM model, link , I suspect that August may see record losses as did 2012. This means m...

This post is a few days late due to work commitments, basically a comment on my last post, link , has raised the question; what does the Cry...

There's a discussion going on over at the Sea Ice Forum, link , about whether the pack this year is more fragmented than previous years....

PIOMAS data is now out and shows a similar pattern of a retarded melt season as does the CT Area data. However the volume losses of June sti...

In my previous post I produced a series of sea level pressure (SLP) plots from NCEP/NCAR reanalysis showing how anomalous the SLP field for ...

Rather than present these graphics in an animated gif (which can't be paused), or YouTube (which has poor resolution) I thought it best ...

OK, rant over, it's time to get back to sea-ice. Now that Cryosphere Today's area data (CT Area) are in for yesterday, it's po...

In the US Navy's HYCOM model there is a persistent, worsening and large region of low concentration ice between the Pole and the Laptev ...

In an earlier post I outlined the June Crash, link , or as I'll now call it in line with others, the June Cliff. It's now happening....
