This year «will without a doubt» rank in the top five lowest levels of ice extent ever recorded in the satellite era, and there is a good possibility that 2013 could rank second in terms of recorded ice lows, said Walt Meier, a scientist at the National Snow & Ice Data Centice extent ever recorded in the satellite era, and there is a good possibility that 2013 could rank second in terms of recorded ice lows, said Walt Meier, a scientist at the National Snow & Ice Data Centice lows, said Walt Meier, a scientist at the National Snow & Ice Data CentIce Data Center.

The estimated DJFM Antarctic sea ice extent climatology for the period 1897 — 1917, with and without the inclusion of the Worby and Comiso offset (an offset between where satellites and human observers view the sea ice edge), is plotted alongside time series of DJFM mean sea ice extent calculated from HadISST2.2, NASA Team and NASA Bootstrap sea ice datasets.

Gordon, C., et al., 2000: The simulation of SST, sea ice extents and ocean heat transports in a version of the Hadley Centre coupled model without flux adjustments.

For other indicators — glacial retreat, sea level, arctic ice extent, etc. — the data is equally noisy, and it is difficult having a sensible discussion without the inevitable cherry - picking on both sides of the argument.

For example, if ice extent increases, the increase in reflective surface will mean that more sunlight is reflected back into space without ever having its energy absorbed into the Earth system.

Cloud coverage is the biggest player in this case, without will make a great melt, or if not, totally save sea ice extent from collapsing further.

Kauker et al. (AWI / OASys), 5.58 (+ / - 0.41), Modeling (same as June) We estimate a monthly mean September sea - ice extent of 5.67 ± 0.40 million km2 (without assimilation of sea - ice / ocean observations).

In particular, initial stages of atmospheric model development often take place without coupling to an ocean model, running instead over observed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and sea ice extent.

They also fail to mention that despite the long - term decline in solar forcing — and the short - term decline of the last 50 years — Arctic sea ice extent is plummeting and will reach conditions similar to HCO summer minima within decades (again, without help from the sun; indeed, with the sun trying to cool).

The simulation of SST, sea ice extents and ocean heat transports in a version of the Hadley Centre coupled model without flux adjustments.

Interesting that when the ball is on the other foot, those in denial seem to believe, without even the tiniest trace of scepticism, that Antarctic sea ice extent is always at record levels.

In the close but no cigar category, scientists are saying that the extent of summer melt - off of Arctic sea ice appears to have passed its minimum extent this year without setting a record.
