Been thoroughly out of it, but for the side interest, it's interesting to so these 'competing' comments (but that may just be my perception, looked at this graph with select options.
http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/charctic-interactive-sea-ice-graph/
Whatever ice extent there is, thick or thin, it's close to that poorest 2012 year, well, well, well outside 2 std deviation.

PIOMAS July 2018
What a coincidence. Just like last month, I will have to precede the PIOMAS update with a short news flash that a very strong cyclone is barreling through the Arctic. But this time too, the cyclone will be short-lived, and so it's not entirely clear whether, on the whole, it will be damaging or ...
Maybe Cryosat 2 (see them largely being ignored) will provide alternate ice-volume info, since it's scheduled to resume the measurements in September (suspended because it can't handle melt-ponds).

Commented Sep 1, 2016 on 2016 Mega-Dipole at Arctic Sea Ice
2016 Mega-Dipole
As reported in the last ASI update, the forecast Dipole has now set up. Yesterday's last analysis chart provided by Environment Canada, at 18Z, showed the high pressure moving in via the Bering Strait at 1037 hPa, while a rapidly weakening storm that had moved in from Siberia (lowest central pre...
Yes, when the deep water formation off Greenland shuts down, things will change very seriously, globally.
Commented May 13, 2016 on Beaufort under relentless (high) pressure at Arctic Sea Ice
Beaufort under relentless (high) pressure
When I wrote the Beaufort under early pressure blog post last month, I didn't quite expect this unprecedented pressure (timing and magnitude) to keep up for so long. High pressure areas tend to be short-lived in the Arctic, but this one was still going strong when the Beaufort quick update was p...

(Still, but only just, reading climate news and blogs... the inaction...Poor boy Netherlands at the bottom of the EU list), is too depressing... TSIB

PIOMAS May 2016
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: According to my contact at the PSC the model seems to be mostly ignoring the bad NSIDC ice concentrat...
Certainly would need a Krakatau [Pinatubo a burb by comparison] to even dent the chances of not passing anything before 2007. The energy is already in the system and it taking quite some time to get the full kick of volcanic impact, plus it has to be at the right latitude.
Given the extreme solar exposure warnings [7] I heard off in passing through Schiphol to include ozone development at ground level on Thursday/Friday, and same here meridionale Italy [40C today], could it be the UV factor is giving the extra kick [that ozone layer damage again]? For now, July 23 data has passed all years 1 day minimum prior to 1996: http://bit.ly/CTNHMn .
P.S. A discussion Krakatau, Pinatubo and the monstrum of all, Toba:

Latter link has a small chart that can be viewed larger, putting various eruptions in perspective [don't be deceived by the height of the lines... it's the scale on left
P.P.S. Few more days and MASIE passes JAXA. The 15% v 30% concentration is also interesting in how they develop: http://bit.ly/MASDMI

ASI 2012 update 7: steady as she goes
During the melting season I'm writing (bi-)weekly updates on the current situation with regards to Arctic sea ice (ASI). Central to these updates are the daily IJIS sea ice extent (SIE) and Cryosphere Today sea ice area (SIA) numbers, which I compare to data from the 2005-2011 period (NSIDC ha...
