September 22, 2022: over the past week, the sea ice has now increased by a rate from last week of 3.70%, from the level on 09/15/2022 of4.657 M km2 to 4.836 M km2 for this week. It turns out that the sea ice bottomed out only one day after last week’s report on 09/16/2022 with the final minimum sea ice extent level of 4.650 M km2); …
September 15, 2022: Over the past week, the sea ice has now decreased by a bit of a higher rate from last week of 4.00%, from the level on 09/08/2022 of4.851 M km2 to 4.657 M km2 for this week. We should be close to bottoming out for the year and at this point we are still just below the 2021 sea ice …
September 8, 2022: Over the past week, the sea ice has now decreased by a lower rate from last week of 3.48%, from the level on 09/01/2022 of 5.026 M km2 to 4.851 M km2 for this week. Perhaps the slow-up of the past couple of weeks is a harbinger that we are really close to bottoming out for the year. …
September 1, 2022: Over the past week, the sea ice has now decreased by a lower rate from last week of 6.67%, from the level on 08/25/2022 of 5.385 M km2 to 5.026 M km2 for this week. We are still a few weeks out from bottoming out for the year and at this point we continue towards at least the 2021 …
August 25, 2022: over the past week, the sea ice has now decreased by a higher rate from last week of 9.18%, from the level on 08/18/2022 of 5.929 M km2 to 5.385 M km2 for this week. We are still a few weeks out from bottoming out for the year and at this point we have taken a bit of turn …
August 18, 2022: over the past week, the sea ice has now decreased by a higher rate from last week of 6.47%, from the level on 08/11/2022 of 6.339 M km2 to 5.929 M km2 for this week. We are now about a month out from bottoming out for the year and at this point we are at the highest point of …
August 11, 2022: Over the past week, the sea ice has now decreased by a lower rate from last week of 4.22%, from the level on 08/04/2022 of 6.618 M km2 to 6.339 M km2 for this week. The negative sea ice anomaly this week was lower from the anomaly of -1.225 M km2 on 08/04/2022 to a less negative anomaly of -1.044 M …
August 4, 2022: Over the past week, the sea ice has now decreased by a lower rate from last week of 6.31%, from the level on 07/28/2022 of 7.064 M km2 to 6.618 M km2 for this week. The negative sea ice anomaly this week was lower from the anomaly of -1.292 M km2 on 07/28/2022 to a less negative anomaly of -1.225 M …
July 28, 2022: Over the past week, the sea ice has now decreased by a higher rate from last week of 10.91%, from the level on 07/21/2022 of 7.929 M km2 to 7.064 M km2 for this week. The negative sea ice anomaly this week was lower from the anomaly of -0.993 M km2 on 07/21/2022 to a more negative anomaly of -1.292 M …
July 21, 2022: Over the past week, the sea ice has now decreased by a higher rate of 7.18% from the level on 07/14/2022 of 8.542 M km2 to 7.929 M km2 for this week.
