Same figure as yesterday, something broken away compensating for normal
ice loss? perhaps a larger than recent daily depletion figure tomorrow,
ie difference between are and extent determination

The NPIR chart from Japan has been showing a daily decrease of 0.01 M sq km over the last few days, compared with 0.1 M sq km per day during January. https://ads.nipr.ac.jp/vishop/#/extent

Their Antarctic sea ice extent actually increased yesterday. Just another example of the chaotic nature of sea ice extent!
