on both sides of the pole (i.e. a dipole) creating zonal winds across the Arctic shunt both cold air (and
ice) more vigorously out of the Arctic.
At least relative to my questions above, what struck me was the possibility of starting with your reduction and analysis of the snow cover / fall

''... worked with two sediment cores they extracted from the seabed of the eastern Norwegian Sea, developing a 1000 - year proxy temperature record «based
on measurements of δ18O in Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, a planktonic foraminifer that calcifies at relatively shallow depths within the Atlantic waters of the eastern Norwegian Sea during late summer,» which they compared with the temporal histories of various proxies of concomitant solar activity... This work revealed, as the seven scientists describe it, that «the lowest isotope values (highest temperatures) of the last millennium are seen ~ 1100 - 1300 A.D., during the Medieval Climate
Anomaly, and again after ~ 1950 A.D.» In between these two warm intervals, of course, were the colder temperatures of the Little
Ice Age, when oscillatory thermal minima occurred at the times of the Dalton, Maunder, Sporer and Wolf solar minima, such that the δ18O proxy record of near - surface water temperature was found to be «robustly and near - synchronously correlated with various proxies of solar variability spanning the last millennium,» with decade - to century - scale temperature variability of 1 to 2 °C magnitude.»

Pokrovsky predicts a further acceleration of melting of the thin

ice loss compared to his June prediction; this change is based
on the increase in the sea surface temperature (SST)
anomalies in the North Atlantic and the presence of hot air masses over Siberia and the Russian Arctic.
Using a statistical model based
on canonical correlation analysis with fall sea surface temperature
anomalies in the North Atlantic as the main predictor, Tivy shows below - normal

I'm very convinced that the physical process of global warming is continuing, which appears as a statistically significant increase of the global surface and tropospheric temperature
anomaly over a time scale of about 20 years and longer and also as trends in other climate variables (e.g., global ocean heat content increase, Arctic and Antarctic
ice decrease, mountain glacier decrease
on average and others), and I don't see any scientific evidence according to which this trend has been broken, recently.
Anomalies in

Another way of stating the question is whether below normal multi-year
ice fractions account for a persistence in
ice extent
anomalies on interannual time scales, or whether the
ice pack is now back in a mode with no interannual correlation between extent

On the other hand, over the course of the entire year, the last 4 years of ever - larger «excess» sea

It is well established that large - scale modes of the extratropical SH atmospheric circulation have strong impacts
on Antarctic sea
ice (e.g. Yuan and Li 2008; Stammerjohn et al. 2008; Holland and Raphael 2006; Liu et al. 2004; Kwok and Comiso 2002; Yuan and Martinson 2000) and
on continental temperature
anomalies (e.g. Marshall 2007; van den Broeke and van Lipzig 2004; Schneider et al. 2004; Kwok and Comiso 2002; Turner 2004; Bromwich et al. 2004; Thompson and Solomon 2002).
Some authors have assessed how
anomalies in one season could reappear in the next or even a year later (Gloersen and White 2001; Stammerjohn et al. 2008), while others have focused
on the eastward propagation of sea
ice anomalies (e.g. White and Peterson 1996).
For the purposes of argument, I'll acknowledge that it likely did so, but as the person who brought it up, the onus is
on you to demonstrate that the amount the
ice sheet receded during the Medieval Climate

«Marked periods like the warming

there is a clear change (eyeballing) in the
