With
arctic melting season firmly lodges around an even 6 months, another catastrophic melt seems unlikely.
Apparently the current
arctic melt season will be the shortest on record and the melt so far is exactly what climate skeptics expected all along.

Research led by Eric Post, a professor of biology at Penn State University, has linked an increasingly earlier plant growing
season to the
melting of
arctic sea ice, a relationship that has consequences for offspring production by caribou in the area.
This year's
arctic ice
melt season is generating extraordinary interest.
Re # 49 & # 82 The limitations on the growth of algae in the
arctic varies with the
season, the effect of sea - ice
melting is not as certain as Harold would have us believe: http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2005/2005JC002922.shtml http://www.nurp.noaa.gov/Spotlight/ArcticIce.htm
While the 2010
melt season started with more multi-year ice (MYI) in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas than seen in recent years and an overall greater percentage of MYI
arctic - wide, by the end of August nearly all of this MYI had
melted out or ice concentration had fallen below 40 %.
And, by comparing the DMI 80 north daily temperature presentation from 1959 - 2014 for the summer
melt season (mid-June to late August when the
arctic is above 0.0 Tave), you see very clearly that there has NO warming over the actual
arctic ocean.
When we get a
arctic season with great cyclones, those cyclones can lead to a break up of the ice (more lateral
melting), If currents conspire we end up with more transport out of the
arctic (ice then
melts in the warmer water), and we get Eckmen pumping and more ice
melts.
