September 20 2023:  Over the past 6 days, the sea ice had a very tiny decrease, at the rate of 0.19%, from the level on 09/14/2023 of 4.259 M km2 to 4.251 M km2 for this week.  So, we might be right at the turnaround point.  We are now getting near the point of turnaround from sea ice decrease to increase […]

September 14 2023:  Over the past week, the sea ice had a decrease, since last week, by a higher rate of 4.46%, from the level on 09/07/2023 of 4.458 M km2 to 4.259 M km2 for this week. The sea ice extent is now at about the 3rd lowest level ever at this time year and about tied with 2018, but still
