Tired of surfing the net to get all the widely spread sea ice graphs and images? I got your back.
Introducing the WUWT Sea Ice Machine.
Given the intense interest in Arctic Sea Ice this year, since it appears we have a potential for recovery again, I’ve decided to put all the sea ice graphs and imagery in one handy place for easy nail biting reference.
The familar JAXA thumbnail in the right sidebar now links to this page. Please let me know if there are additional graphs or images that are worthwhile for inclusion.
The page is available on the menu at the top under the header. I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner.
Direct link (suitable for bookmarking or linking to from your website) is here:

Isn’t the Sea Ice Machine sort of like selling ice to an eskimo?

I’d strongly suggest adding the pole centered 30 day animation from Cryosphere Today.
On behalf of those of us on dial-up, I respectfully ask:
Are you freaking nuts?”
Now, sphaerica is a warmist concern troll and wants to sabotage Anthony’s endevour. Which is not terribly surprising; but it leads me to an interesting question:
*WHY* do warmist concern trolls want to prohibit people from seeing realtime information about sea ice? The sources Anthony links to are scientific organisations. Maybe an informed public is not in the best interest of the warmist cause?
The Xerox machines in Russia were as closely guarded as the missile sites…
I’m on dial up so can’t readily see which links you have included unless I stare at my screen for half an hour. Did you include this one? And the AO graph?

SUPERB IDEA! This is EXACTLY the kind of information that will obliterate the AGW pseudoscience: Sea ice involves millions of kilometers; they can correct their temperature databases to obliterate the 1930s warming, the Medieval Warm Period and other old warmer periods, they can superheat the 200os with their corrections but they can do little corrections to SATELLITE PHOTOGRAPHS that show millions square kilometerss of sea ice.
I thing sea ice is the MOST IMPORTANT SINGLE FACT that will show millions that the “satanic co2” AGW theory is pseudoscience.
WattsUpWithThat is the most popular ¿climate? science blog on the planet. This SEA ICE page should have a prominent place in the blog, so people can come and SEE themselves those millions kilometers and doing so the AGW collapse will come sooner.
Excellent idea to have the Sea Ice pages combined in one link. Thank you!
One small request:
The JAXA chart has a daily ice cover area estimate, in square km. Could that please be included on your summary page as well?

I just set up a crontab job to update the latest cryosphere Arctic image to
http://home.comcast.net/~ewerme/wuwt/cryo_latest.jpg and the comparison to the same date from 2007 at http://home.comcast.net/~ewerme/wuwt/cryo_compare.jpg
I need to do some futzing to run it around the time new images show up, a topic I need to learn a bit more about.
I’ll send you Email about getting them uploaded to WUWT.
(Readers – I don’t intend these URLs to be more than proof-of-concept, so don’t expect them to last.)

Oops – make that second link be to the .png file, i.e.

Scott Covert says: “How about a solar page?”
There’s already a lot of solar data on Solarcycle24.com. Between that, Leif’s site (http://www.leif.org/research/), and Jan Janssen’s site (http://users.telenet.be/j.janssens/SC24.html), I think it’s well covered. There may be better places to fritter your afternoons away. A solar FAQ page might be helpful, in lieu of Leif having to answer the same dumb questions again and again and again.
Skinny-dipping, anyone? 🙂

“Hmm, now where have I seen that year 2035 number before?”
Wasnt it some dubious “Love Guru” from India? What was his name again?
It is freezing at the north pole 🙂

I second the motion. here is the link:

How altruistic of you to spend your Saturday preparing this, Anthony. An example of a kind heart in a cold world.
I’m finding this page pretty useful and time-saving. I’d be interested in seeing how much it adds to WUWT stats after a month or so. Surely I’m not the only OCD ice-watcher (Yes, I’m looking at you, and you, and you, and most especially YOU).
REPLY: FYI – Repeat hits from same IP don’t count in the traffic stats. -Anthony
Another suggestion for this page: The AO index. Negatives tend to be good for keeping ice in the central core; positives tend to be not-so-good for that: http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/ao.obs.gif
Thank you to Ric Werme and Anthony for making the Cryosphere comparos available now too. 🙂
How about using this page from NSIDC instead? It shows +/- 2 SD on the average.

How about adding the NPEO Home Page?
