---- Doddridge and Marshall, 2017 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2017GL074319/abstract Through analysis of remotely - sensed sea surface temperature (SST) and sea
ice concentration data we investigate the impact of winds related to the Southern Annular Mode (SAM) on sea ice extent around Antarctica.
Pond formation and small floe sizes in dispersed ice (and coastal effects on the radiometer signal) contribute to substantial biases in the derived

Ice concentration data are based on AMSR - E products; see http://www.seaice.de.
The ensemble predictions are based on a synthesis of a model, NCEP / NCAR reanalysis data, and satellite

We introduced following improvements: high resolution (AMSR - E) sea
ice concentration data, a time - domain filter that reduces observational noise, and a space - domain selection that neglects the outer seasonal ice zones.
The Bootstrap sea
ice concentration data set is believed to be more useful for modeling and process studies in the polar regions because it is generally free of residual errors that could not be removed by conventional techniques.
Improvements were made to the statistical method, including the use of high resolution AMSR - E sea
ice concentration data, a time - domain filter of five days that reduces observational noise, and a space - domain selection that neglects the outer seasonal ice zones.

[17] Before the advent of satellite - based imagery in 1973, sea
ice concentration data for the Antarctic are not available, and sea ice extent data are not readily available for indi - vidual months, seasons or years, although some visible and infrared data do exist for 1966 — 1972 [Zwally et al., 1983] and some undigitized charts reside in national archives (e.g., V. Smolyanitsky, personal communication, 2002).
They ran one experiment that assumed seasonally varying Arctic sea ice and utilized sea
ice concentration data collected between 1979 and 2010.

Be that as it may, all these studies, despite the large variety in
data used, model structure and approach, have one thing in common: without the role of CO2 as a greenhouse gas, i.e. the cooling effect of the lower glacial CO2
concentration, the
ice age climate can not be explained.
We know from
data that we have caused the CO2
concentration in the atmosphere to rise sharply during the past century: it is now much higher than any time during the past 650,000 years (which is as far back as reliable
ice core
data exist).

But it is a proxy, because the idea that that it is not a proxy rests on the tenuous and unproven assumption that the chemical composition of the
ice - core

concentration of CO2.
If the
ice - core
data were reliable I still can not see why the raw measurements depict CO2

The idea that the
