The data shows that the Arctic sea-ice minimum is getting smaller. could be that global Warming is the reason. Careful with that axe Eugene, there are only eight months in the animation - not enough to make longer term pronouncements. Is that your point? No point, just trying to broaden understanding. -- When the Rapture comes, can I have your car? When global warming comes, can I have your coat? |

In case he missed the longer term view, he should take another look at the first graph on the web page referenced above. You know, the one labeled "Sea ice extent trend for the Northern Hemisphere". He night have noticed the data begins in 1975 and continues thru 2004. Is that your point? No point, just trying to broaden understanding. I think the point is that the Earth is warming and one indication of this is a decline in the extent of sea-ice at the end of the melt season in the Arctic. -- Eric Swanson --- E-mail address: e_swanson(at)skybest.com :-) -------------------------------------------------------------- |

Suppose that ice cover north of the Barents Sea anno February 2005 equals that of june/july 2004, would that have opened the possibility of sailing to the north pole without the help of an icebreaker, at the end of the melt season ? |

I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you suggesting that the sea-ice of 4 July 04 is like that today? ftp://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/ice/nh/nh.20040704.gif ftp://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/ice/nh/nh.20050216.gif The melt season usually ends in late September or October. ftp://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/ice/nh/nh.20040922.gif Notice the ice free areas due to the THC in the North Atlantic There's still much open water at the (approximate) date of maximum extent. ftp://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/pub/ice/nh/nh.20040322.gif -- Eric Swanson --- E-mail address: e_swanson(at)skybest.com :-) -------------------------------------------------------------- |
