Conversely, low
sea level pressure anomalies over the Beaufort Sea and Canada Basin keep the Arctic Ocean pack ice up against the western entrance.
The September ice area is predicted to be comparable to 2009 based on winter (Jan - Feb - Mar)
sea level pressure anomalies over the Kara and Laptev Seas.

Since May,
sea -

pressure anomalies over the tropical eastern Pacific have been mostly lower than average.
In July, the Arctic Dipole
Anomaly (DA) pattern that was dominant in June (which promotes clear skies, warm air temperatures, and winds that push ice away from coastal areas and encourages melt) was replaced by low
sea level pressure (SLP)
over the Arctic Ocean, leading to ice divergence (ice extent «spreading out») and cooler temperatures.
