If we compare the ice thickness map of the previous winter with that of 2012, we can see that the current ice conditions are similar to those of the spring of 2012 — in some places, the ice is even thinner,» Dr Marcel Nicolaus, sea ice physicist at AWI, said today at a press conference during the EGU General Assembly in Vienna.

BTW, does anybody know an image like figure 4 of the June 2008 NSIDC sea ice news (multi-year ice percentages), updated to current conditions?

Many readily acknowledge that the Arctic is an extraordinarily complicated system in which ice conditions are determined by winds, currents and both air and sea temperature.

It seems like it is a necessary feature to maintain current summer sea ice conditions.

The study also found that the Southern Ocean Circumpolar Current, which helps determine sea - ice extent, is steered by submerged ridges and canyons along the edge of the Antarctic continental shelf, rather than by global warming or other climatic conditions.

This is pretty squishy, but given the current extent and ice conditions in the Beaufort Sea, I think this year's September average will be about 4 million km2.

Just for one example, if it turns out that, between melt of sea ice and Greenland ice, the North Atlantic Current slows or stops, we would expect to see fairly dramatically colder weather in Europe for a while, even thought this condition could be directly linked to results produced by GW (though in the long term, the warming would, presumably eventually overtake the cooling from change in ocean currents).

Under those conditions, Earth had little ice, and sea level was at least 60 metres higher than current levels.
