Thanks Graham, I had forgotten about http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosph....1900-2010.png It would be nice if someone could get your maps from the Met Office and put them on the web, but won't there be a problem with copyright? But I am not volunteering. I've already got too many unfinished jobs :-( I would've done it but I have a horrible feeling that they've got rid of the A4/foolscap published charts and merely retained the working charts. I recall that it was official policy forty-five years ago that only original working charts had to be kept although I'm fairly sure the published monthly ice maps were there a few years ago, they're just not listed in that format now.

That is because they went in daylight. One of them bent his pole with the window in it. When he said up periscope he discovered that they still have ice in summer. They should have sent Russians! Americans are slow learners. They sent their whole fleet to Hawaii to prove there was a war going on. Two decades later they were trying to find out how hot it was. With windows on sticks. Anyone else would have used thermometers. Exerpt froma US newspaper: Right now there are only two ways to enter and exit Hampton Cove, either by taking Hwy 431 or Cecil Ashburn Drive. Next year the city of Huntsville will be expanding Cecil Ashburn into four lanes to help with congestion. "It's going to be a disaster a huge mess you won't be able to get in and out," James Taylor said. Sounds like they are hiring a French firm to make it more like Calais. Obviously the ones that planned Omaha. |

What exactly does krill eat when the algae production is this low/high? |

In 1963 following the errors in the design of the Russian Hydrogen bomb the SSW was even more sudden and a hell of a lot more extensive. However for reasons best known to themselves both sides seemed to have felt it a benevolent idea that we not be told about conditions after that thing. And so the data from military bases in the Arctic has only recently become available. One wonders why the alarmist haven't been all over it by now. At least the ones not arcticually working for the obscure I **** on Korn Krop Kollective: https://wattsupwiththat.files.wordpr...eat-prices.png |

Where can I see charts of the sea-ice before the satellite era, especially 1962,3 & 4? The bits of the Pentagon that were not blown up by the Phantom at the same time as the x-files belonging to a well known government enquiry. |

Everyone here still working there has now killfiled us all Exitdoor Exitdoor Wet sheep in the way All you need are dead deer files in places like Bjarnarey Riding through the open sea on a nonstick holiday the Chinese freighters go with birdflu on the way. The Ruskies won't say no, nor can the USA. The bunker oil exhausts will highlight them today. Beware the black sea ice rising to the warm what horrors' yet to come from Graphiclayotherm Who's dreaming of a white sickmess with SSWs everywhere? With wavetops glistening, Tornado-Watch listening to hear what sounds like old sinus or tin-ear? |
