State of Arctic ice
Not seen it looking so fragmented as this for the start of February - a
prolonged period of SW winds I think has been the main factor? http://www.iup.uni-bremen.de:8084/ss..._SSMIS_nic.png http://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index/i...timeseries.png is also showing overall a bit lower than the 2007 period. Cheers James -- James Brown |

Cheers James -- James Brown I reckon that persistent Finland high is to blame-pulling mild maritime air over the Pole via Svalbard. |

It'll almost certainly be a temporary condition, however (though I notice Larry hasn't tried to cherry-pick the Arctic ice extent for a while). |

Cheers James -- James Brown I reckon that persistent Finland high is to blame-pulling mild maritime air over the Pole via Svalbard. The Finnish high may be due to stratospheric warming pushing the Arctic vortex over Finland. The stratospheric high may have been caused by the lower concentration of Arctic sea ice. Certainly if the ice doesn't thicken and the extent increase then we could well have a record low for the Arctic sea ice this summer. I think this ties in with what the US meteorologist said he http://www.youtube.com/embed/HBlLP6KTrsE Cheers. Alastair. |

If all it takes to achieve another arctic ice record minimum is a scandi high for a week or two, then the ice-never mind AGW sceptics-is in serious trouble. |
