If I understand it well enough, the controversial bits with Zwally 2015 is 1) about the timescale of the observed volume increases in East Antarctic and 2) the different results of the Grace measurements.
2) is targeted in "Alba Martin-Español et al, Constraining the mass balance of East Antarctica, Geophysical Research Letters (2017). DOI: 10.1002/2017GL072937"

Abstract:
We investigate the mass balance of East Antarctica for the period 2003–2013 using a Bayesian statistical framework. We combine satellite altimetry, gravimetry, and GPS with prior assumptions characterizing the underlying geophysical processes. We run three experiments based on two different assumptions to study possible solutions to the mass balance. We solve for trends in surface mass balance, ice dynamics, and glacial isostatic adjustment. The first assumption assigns low probability to ice dynamic mass loss in regions of slow flow, giving a mean dynamic trend of 17 ± 10 Gt yr−1 and a total mass imbalance of 57 ± 20 Gt yr−1. The second assumption considers a long‐term dynamic thickening hypothesis and an a priori solution for surface mass balance from a regional climate model. The latter results in estimates 3 to 5 times larger for the ice dynamic trends but similar total mass imbalance. In both cases, gains in East Antarctica are smaller than losses in West Antarctica.
1) The time period of the volume increases has implications for the density,thus for the mass increases (Zwally 2015 argues a density close to solid ice, other researchers assume a much lower density closer to fresh snow).
Schröder et al have a paper in The Cryosphere Discussion. Discussion started March 19 and is open until May 14, no comments yet. This paper user observations over a much longer time span (1979-2017) and find a significant acceleration of the East Atarctic ice sheet volume. That (IMHO) makes is much more likely that the volume increases are mostly from snow, thus of low density.
Abstract:
We developed an approach for a multi-mission satellite altimetry analysis over the Antarctic Ice Sheet which comprises Seasat, Geosat, ERS-1, ERS-2, Envisat, ICESat and CryoSat-2. In a first step we apply a consistent reprocessing of the radar alitmetry data which improves the measurement precision by up to 50 %. We then perform a joint repeat altimetry analysis of all missions. We estimate inter-mission offsets by approaches adapted to the temporal overlap or non-overlap and to the similarity or dissimilarity of involved altimetry techniques. Hence, we obtain monthly grids forming a combined surface elevation change time series. Owing to the early missions Seasat and Geosat, the time series span almost four decades from 07/1978 to 12/2017 over 25 % of the ice sheet area (coastal regions of East Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula). Since the launch of ERS-1 79 % of the ice sheet area is covered by observations. Over this area, we obtain a negative volume trend of −34 ± 5 km3 yr−1 for the more than 25-year period (04/1992–12/2017). These volume losses have significantly accelerated to a rate of −170 ± 11 km3 yr−1 for 2010–2017. Interannual variations significantly impact decadal volume rates which highlights the importance of the long-term time series. Our time series show a high coincidence with modeled cumulated precipitation anomalies and with satellite gravimetry. This supports the interpretation with respect to snowfall anomalies or dynamic thinning. Moreover, the correlation with cumulated precipitation anomalies back to the Seasat and Geosat periods highlights that the inter-mission offsets were successfully corrected and that the early missions add valuable information.

Another month has passed and so here is the updated Arctic sea ice volume graph as calculated by the Pan-Arctic Ice Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS) at the Polar Science Center: March 2018 turned out to be quite cold, relatively speaking (more on that below). And thus, as expect...
the weight of the snow pushes the ice under the water level
This is actually the normal in the Antarctic (as the paper you linked to mentions), and not so often, perhaps rarely, in the North.
If the PIOMAS does not account for that effect (of snow-ice formation under snow), then it may actually be Crysat that is more accurate.
Assuming that Cryosat under such circumstances has any accuracy left.
I have always suspected that the reason Cryosat never (AFAIK) showed any analysis for the Antarctic was just this fact.

Note that even without any random variations, any trend will make the standard deviation differ from zero.
For that reason alone, this is not a Normal distribution, so 8 sigma does not have to have the same probability as that. There is no doubt though that the anomaly falls in some category labeled "crazy".
I have put the graphs together on a page with some brief description of the methods and the data sources:
https://sites.google.com/site/arctischepinguin/home/global-sea-ice
There are two global sea ice volume graphs on that page as well, derived from GIOMAS. The graphs suggest that the current low area/extent are following big drops in volume earlier this year. Which makes sense of course.

Sam, sorry about the confusion. The grey area is the +/- 2 sigma range. I have modified the legend to make that clear.
There are more graphs for those that want to look at the issue. In particular :

Your calculations are very helpful, but for the 174K drop, could you please share from NSIDC where this drop is happening?
The opportunity to quote the exact values per region has gone (overwritten by totday's update).
Here are some numbers from from area, calculated the NSIDC way:
Area:
Arctic Basin East Siberian Sea Laptev Sea
-16.3 0.6 -7.4
Kara Sea Barents Sea Greenland Sea
-22.4 -17.0 4.0
Baffin/Newfoundland Bay St. Lawrence Hudson Bay
11.6 -14.7 -41.1
Canadian Archipelago Beaufort Sea Chukchi Sea
3.3 2.2 3.4
Bering Sea Sea of Okhotsk Total Area
-3.7 -58.7 -156.4
(sorry, I forgot how to align such tables on the blog)
Here the drop is "only" 156k, CT exaggerates the area at lower latitudes.
So the drop is mostly caused by Okhotsk, Hudson and the Bering/Kara/CAB section.
I have uploaded in the forum what I call the delta map. Bright red and blue is where concentration crosses the 15% cut-off. Blueish where concentration increases by 7% or more, pinkish where concentration drops more than 7%. This should serve as a nice illustration.
More information on the calculation is mentioned in the post just above that image.

The 174K drop then actually happened yesterday Tuesday, March 15th, but will then reported by CT on Thursday, March 17th, and CT will use the date of March 16th. for this drop.
Almost. NSIDC reports concentration data of the day before. So yesterday that was 14th. NSIDC calculates extent and reports that as the 14th. CT does not report its Arctic area figures (based on this data) two days later (Thursday). The Southern Hemisphere area and Global area numbers follow one day after that (Friday).

Okay, we can remove the question mark of the earlier blog post concerning Cryosphere Today Global SIA, as the record was broken yesterday: And here's how it looks on the graph from the Pogoda i Klimat website: It's not easy to see, but 2016 has dipped below the 2006 record minimum of 14.391 k...

Wipneus, Apparently half of the current sea level rise is natural.
You have already lost me there, and it does not get better further.
I am always happy to explain and discuss what I wrote, but here I have no idea what you mean.

In rare cases the NSIDC updates its daily sea ice concentration data more than once per day. It just happened, and my recalculated data for once differ more than a few k :( .
Only the last line that is, here are the updated numbers:
