Another month has passed and so here is the updated Arctic
sea ice volume graph as calculated by the Pan-Arctic Ice Ocean Modeling and Assimilation System (PIOMAS) at the Polar Science Center:
Not exact matches
Thus the
sea ice volume will not fall straight to zero on the PIOMAS
graph, but curve round to the right.
I've noted his work before, but it never hurts to repeat that Andy Lee Robinson has been creating effective animated
graphs of estimated
sea ice volume (as distinct from area or extent) that provide a long view of shifting conditions.
Even with the unimaginably extensive
sea surface chemical
ice nucleation onslaught by the geoengineers, the Arctic
sea ice volumes have continued to plummet as shown in the
graph above.
After the maximum was reached, the trend line flattened, with
sea ice volume going down by a meagre 91 km3 from the 16th to the end of the month, which can clearly be seen on Wipneus» version of the PIOMAS
graph:
More on that in due course, but first let's take a look at the PIOMAS
volume graph at the end of November, courtesy of the wondrous Wipneus on the Arctic
Sea Ice Forum:
