This work concerns only
sea ice extent without considerations of the age, thickness, and total volume of sea ice.

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.
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.
