Paul, what's your comment on the Canadian Ice Service charts?

Record dominoes 1: Uni Bremen sea ice extent
There are several scientific organisations that keep an eye on the Arctic sea ice cover and put out graphs to inform us of the amount of ice that is left. You can see most, if not all, of them on the ASI Graphs webpage. --- I expect the record on most of these graphs to be broken in weeks to com...
Look at the predicted ice transport through Fram strait the next couple of days!

Paul, there are also photos from Healy from last year showing ice further south than 78N.
For example http://icefloe.net/Aloftcon_Photos/albums/2011/20110822-1301.jpeg
By the way, isn't it likely they try to avoid ice if they are going from one point to another? They travel much faster on open water than through ice.

Peter has explained this in a way that makes sense a 100 times now.

Webcam art
Every now and again the North Pole webcams produce beautiful images (like last year). This one is a bit artsy: When will the first puddles show up, I wonder?

This is after all a blog. One that follow a very slow event. Does it really matter if someone who has been waiting a year for the sea ice to reach it's minimum and
several years for the record to be broken gets exited when that's about to happen?
Had the texts here been parts of
scientific articles, words like "plummet" and "flash melt" would have been extreme. But that's not the case.
Perhaps the Bremen graph plummeted in comparison to what some of us had expected rather than in a scientific meaning.

SIE 2011 update 19: the fat lady is humming
During the melting season I'm regularly writing updates on the current sea ice extent (SIE) as reported by IJIS (a joint effort of the International Arctic Research Center and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and compare it to the sea ice extents in the period 2005-2010. NSIDC has a good ...
I wonder if anyone knows where I can find info about how strong the winds were during the storm?
Commented Aug 23, 2011 on Flash melting at Arctic Sea Ice
Flash melting
I introduced the term 'flash melting' in a recent SIE update. It was a pun on the term 'flash flooding' where lots of rain falls out of the sky in a short amount of time, causing creeks and rivers to flood very fast. I based the concept on the state of large parts of the ice pack in the Beaufort...
