Arctic sea ice volume went below 6 thousand km³ record early (just as for 10, 9, 8 & 7). But the chart shows we didn’t quite manage to beat the 2012 record for first below 5 by August 13th. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going …

Year-To-Date Average Sea Ice Volume
The Year–To–Date average volume is now 2nd lowest for sea ice in the Arctic. Next target is record low 2017. Note also that the 2000s average is still not below the 21k upper edge, while this year’s at 17.3. That’s climate change for ya. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice …
Year-To-Date Average Sea Ice Extent
The Year–To–Date average extent is still 2nd lowest for sea ice in the Arctic. All 4 lowest years are also the 4 latest years: 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019. Next target is record low 2016. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
Arctic sea ice extent meltdown
Arctic sea ice extent meltdown has come 70% of the way from Winter Maximum to a Blue Ocean Event per August 11th. The lowest extent year ever, 2016, for comparison, was at 65%. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
Arctic sea ice volume meltdown
Arctic sea ice volume meltdown has come 79% of the way from Winter Maximum to a Blue Ocean Event per August 10th. The lowest volume year ever, 2017, for comparison, was at 76%. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
2007 Destroyed on August 1 | Arctic Sea Ice Volume
Friday daily Arctic sea ice volume was already lower than the September minimums of 33 years; 1979–2009 + 2014–15, with about 40 more melt days to go. 2019 Melt Season average is 2nd lowest. Ten–Year Trend though, is still very stubbornly all–time low. Interestingly, the once record low shocker 2007 was crushed by 2019 as …

½ Year Arctic Blue Ocean Estimates
#GoodHopeModel August 8: Our first ½ year long Arctic Blue Ocean Event could come as early as 2024–35. No sea ice for 6 months, in as little as 5–16 years? You can learn more about the Good Hope Model on YouTube: Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth …
Chances of a 2019 Blue Ocean Event
A week into August on this experimental plot, chances are settling at 30% for a late summer ice–free event in the Arctic Ocean. This means the potential is now significant, but on the other hand days are getting shorter and melting time is running out for the 2019 Blue Ocean Event. Due in large part …
Sea Ice Volume Minimum | Top 5
Arctic sea ice volume went below 6 thousand km³ record early (just as for 10, 9, 8 & 7). Chart shows we have until August 13th to beat the 2012 record for first below 5. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
Annual Average Sea Ice Extent
The 365–day running average for sea ice extent is now lower than 9.91 million km² and dropping by about 52 thousand km² per month. The prognosis suggests 2019 may go 2nd lowest on record for all–year average. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
