Readers may recall that I brought an issue with NSIDC’s sea ice data to their attention back in February 09. The official response from Walt Meier then was “its not…

New paper: Barents Sea Temperature correlated to the AMO as much as 4C – potential for sea ice effect
A new paper just published in the Geophysical Review Letters finds a significant correlation between the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) and the water temperature of the Barents Sea. This was…
Operation ice bridge in Antarctica
While we have no mention in press of the record amounts of ice for the entire Antarctic continent as shown here, scientists are focusing on the one part of the…
NSIDC still pushing ice free Arctic summers
NSIDC seems to be saying: It’s slightly less worse than we thought. For another view, see Dr. Tony Berry’s sea ice analysis on WUWT yesterday. From a University of Colorado…
Interesting analysis of IARC-JAXA Arctic sea ice data
Analysis of the AMSR-E data on Arctic Ice Guest post by Dr Tony Berry, 4th October 2009 The Arctic Ice extent prepared IARC-JAXA demonstrates the cyclical annual trend of freezing…
2009 Arctic Sea Ice Extent exceeds 2005 for this date
Those that have been watching the IARC-JAXA Arctic sea ice plot, and noting the slope of gain, rather expected this to happen. Today it did. Here’s the current IARC-JAXA Sea…
Antarctica – warming, ice melting – not yet
I thought it might be time for an update on this. Earlier this year we had the big news that even though everything else says otherwise, the statistical wizards of…
Climate Alarmists rush to judgment on dead walruses, ignore other possibilities
All over the web today, there’s the theme of: “dead walrus = caused by climate change”. On the Climate Progress blog they have this picture of the dead walruses (seen…
NSIDC still pushing "ice-free Arctic summers"
This is the press release sent out by NSIDC today (sans image below). Instead of celebrating a two year recovery, they push the “ice free” theme started last year by…
2nd day – Arctic sea ice is again on the rise
Yesterday I looked at JAXA data and ventured that: “Arctic sea ice melt appears to have turned the corner for 2009” The Sept 15th JAXA Arctic Sea Ice extent graph was…
Arctic sea ice melt appears to have turned the corner for 2009
It appears Arctic sea ice has bottomed out and is now on the growth rebound. The NANSEN Arctic ROOS website shows that in terms of area, sea ice appears to…
Cryosphere Today: Arctic is now ice-free*, Antarctica unaffected
NSIDC’s Mark Serreze must be thrilled, as he’ll now be able to justify some of his press releases. Gore must be ecstatic that his 2013 “Entire north polar ice cap…
NASA video tour of the Cryosphere 2009
WUWT commenter Ray tips us to a new video from NASA “The Tour of the Cryosphere 2009”. With all the interest in sea ice right now, it seems like a…
How have the scientists done on Arctic sea ice forecasts this year? – Maybe not so good.
Steve McIntyre on Climate Audit brings our attention to an interesting sea ice extent forecasting “contest” conducted by the Study of Environmental ARctic CHange (SEARCH). With the end of the…
Sea Ice Open Thread
It looks like we’ll see the 2009 Arctic sea ice melt season bottom out in a few days and it won’t be a record setter. Even NSIDC admits this. Here…
DMI arctic temperature data animation doesn't support claims of recent Arctic warming
UPDATE: 9/8/09 The University of Colorado made a serious mistake in the press release that I cited. This press release was issued well before the paper was available, and of…
Arctic temperature headed below freezing
There’s a couple of indicators that at least for Arctic temperature, the numbers are headed south. First the weather plot from the drifting buoy that is connected with NOAA’s North…
An update on Jeff Id's excellent sea ice video
Arctic Sea Ice Video Update by Jeff Id As we approach the Arctic Sea Ice minimum, a lot of eyes are looking and projecting what the minimum will be. In a…
NSIDC on arctic ice: It is now unlikely that 2009 will see a record low extent
From NSIDC sea ice news During the first half of August, Arctic ice extent declined more slowly than during the same period in 2007 and 2008. The slower decline is…
Update on Arctic sea ice melt – "Ice pockets choking Northern Passage"
First let’s get a look at the current NSIDC graph: and now the JAXA graph:
