It seems that also IMS has made a new record.

The numeric values are not updated yet but the graph is.
Record dominoes 9: PIOMAS sea ice volume
The people from PIOMAS have done an extra data release (there'll be another one next week for all of the August data). This data shows us that yet another record domino has fallen, after so many others already. This is one of the biggest dominoes out there, especially now that observational data...
Here is an anamation of 22th and 23th days. 22th was using WindSat and 23th new AMSR2.

The difference in resolution is remarkable.
Peeking through the clouds 5
Commenter dabize has sent me the latest 'declouded' version of the False-Colour Composite images Environment Canada makes of the LANCE-MODIS satellite images. They give us an excellent view of week to week changes that are blocked by cloudy conditions in the Arctic. Changes in the ice pack reall...
Here is an animation of two previous days of Bremen maps.

Some flash melting.
Cyclone warning!
I have postponed this post until I was sure that what follows is going to happen. Remember the term 'flash melting'? That's when from one day to the next large swathes of ice disappear on the University of Bremen sea ice concentration maps. We witnessed one such instance last year when a relativ...
CT area now 3,787 million km2. So far 4,6% of readers have been voted wrongly (more than 3,8 million km2).
Polls July 2012

Arctic atmosphere June-July 2012
In this exciting battle between Greenland and the Arctic sea ice (who gets the most media coverage?), it's now time for one of those boring comparisons that give the current melting season some more context. For that I have used the excellent maps on the daily mean composites page from NOAA's Ea...
Ups, the previous image was shrinked. Here is the same with original size.

CT SIA anomaly drops below 2 million km2
With a drop of 174,867 square km for July 17th reported by Cryosphere Today (run by the Polar Research Group at the University of Illonois at Urbana-Champaign), the 2012 sea ice area anomaly has dropped below 2 million square kilometres, compared to the 1979-2008 mean: So what, one may ask. It ...
A big drop in Bremen map today. I made an animation of 22. and 23. days.
