½ Year Arctic Blue Ocean Estimates
#GoodHopeModel September 18: 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: For some of the consequences of a summer half year Blue Ocean Event, press …
Annual Average Sea Ice Volume
The 365–day running average for sea ice volume is now 2nd lowest and lower than 13.68 thousand km³, dropping by about 90 km³ per month. The prognosis suggests we’ll go lower than 2012 for the all–year average, putting 2012 at #3 for low sea ice. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice …
Annual Average Sea Ice Extent
The 365–day running average for sea ice extent is now lower than 9.85 million km² and dropping by about 42 thousand km² per month. The prognosis suggests 2019 may be lowest on record for all–year average. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
