Of the many reference pages we offer on WUWT about weather and climate data, the WUWT Sea Ice Page is the most popular of all, and it is the most popular page on WUWT besides the home page. In the last year, it got neglected and some of the images, data, and links became broken due to them changing at their source websites.
Having a year of distractions, both personal and professional, I was remiss in keeping it updated. That has since changed and as far as I can tell, it is fully functional again. If it isn’t, please let me know in a comment below.
I’m always interested in new elements, so if there is an image, graph, or live feed that you know of that is not included here, please leave a comment with a link to the source and I’ll look into including it.
Thanks for your patience, and as always, thanks for reading WUWT.

Are links to Great Lakes ice coverage I do not know links to grab the daily updates, I do it manually through the Canadian ice page
Don’t think that I spotted this graph provided by DMI of Arctic ice volume. Only goes back a few years, has a handy skip a year for comparisons.

I use the heck out of the ice page. I just used it this past weekend to shut down a conversation about how much Antarctica is melting.
Anthony: You may want to include this link:
https://sites.google.com/site/arcticseaicegraphs/
Google does the heavy lifting. I myself lifted it from @Snow White, who seems quite perturbed at you and I. Not sure why….
Anthony: This google search page gives the long term graphs, including NH snow extent.
https://sites.google.com/site/arcticseaicegraphs/longterm
This one gives arctic forecasts for wind, pressure and temp.

My first post went to the rabbit hole.
Google does the heavy lifting here. Lots of images that Google has searched across the web. I myself lifted it from @Snow White, who seems quite perturbed at you and I. Not sure why….

Mods: apparently I used a verboten word in two of my postings.

Anthony, I see the Canadians are still changing the date on their sea ice concentration map, without updating the image. I don’t understand their reason for doing this as it can only cause confusion.
Thanks Anthony,
A couple of charts on your ocean references pages could do with an update too, if you get a chance. The NCDC global SST chart (via climate4you) stops in June 2015, though NCDC data now runs to December. Climate4you has the updated the chart too: http://climate4you.com/images/HadSST3+SST2%20GlobalMonthlyTempSince1979%20With37monthRunningAverage%20WithARGO.gif
Also, you’re still showing global SST data from HadSST2, which is now obsolete and ends in Dec 2012. The updated (to Dec 2015) HadSST3 global data are found here: http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadsst3/
Climate4you also charts these if you prefer: http://climate4you.com/images/HadSST3+SST2%20GlobalMonthlyTempSince1979%20With37monthRunningAverage%20WithARGO.gif
Cheers.
Thanks for adding the 30% DMI coverage. I was unable to find it two days ago when this was more topical. What’s going on there – definitely not following the narrative?
Yes, thank you Anthony for inclusion of the DMI 30 % coverage, it has become hard to locate it otherwise.
Another suggestion: would you consider including the wonderful collection of charts and maps provided here:
http://climate4you.com/SeaIce.htm#Sea ice extension in a longer time perspective
illustrating Arctic sea ice extent during longer time periods. They really set the current sea ice scare into a proper perspective.
The link didn’t come out correctly so here’s another attempt:
http://climate4you.com/SeaIce.htm#Sea ice extension in a longer time perspective
That didn’t work either, you need to copy the entire text after the colon.
Anthony, also this collection of DMI Arctic sea ice graphs for time period 1893-1961:
http://hidethedecline.eu/pages/posts/arctic-sea-ice-data-collected-by-dmi-1893-1961-259.php
would be useful for readers to get perspective to the current status of Arctic sea ice
Come to think of it, it would be wonderful to have a new sub-page under sea ice reference page for “historical” data. The two links above could function as a starting point, and there certainly is a lot more material that could be included.
DMI 30 % ice coverage data.Can someone provide a link to this page?Im not finding it anymore on DMI nor on WUWT.thanks
It’s now include in the sea ice references at WUWT.
