This morning, the message below instead of graphs.

Looks like the WUWT auto-update runs into the same roadblock. Hopefully a temporary circumstance?

The daily graph on the right still looks the same though.

They not only show that the “ice extent” has stopped growing, but they show such things as the Kara Sea being largely ice free (< 15%). This is in complete contradiction, both to what one would expect for this season and regional images such as at Cryosphere Today. It’s also in apparent contradiction with the Nansen Sea Ice graphs (although they haven’t been updated in a few days). Has NSDIC gotten stuck?

What is it?

Thickness is not given in the color graphic.

Or am I misinterpreting the data?

http://newsminer.com/news/2008/nov/06/colder-october-temperatures-generate-thicker-ice-r/

I know it’s just a local message.

They had their 4th coldest October since 1904 collecting 600 degree Celcius freezing days (normal 290).

Ice thickness 12 to 15 inch

Visit NSIDC NOAA to see how the state is comparing to 1979-2000 and how far away from the mean.

Depends on the “weather” in the coming months and what heat comes up from below. Salinity was up puting the average freezing point of sea water at -1.77C

In 2006 it look till the end November and in 2007 the 20th November to reach the current 2008( 1st November) area.

Does this means that the 2008 one year ice will have a longer period to thicken and will therefore take longer to melt in summer 2009 I wonder?

Although, once the area fills in, extent will want to increase in areas outside the immediate Arctic Basin.
