Re: World Markets - URL Post Wed Jun 27, 2012 9:25 am by mcgowanjm Start watching for news of: Fram and Davis Straits Greenland and Ocean Heat Flux: * Arctic sea ice shrinks to lowest June extent ever observed - Alaska Dispatch * Atlantic Heat Constrains Arctic Sea Ice Extent - Science Daily (press release) * Arctic sea ice enters its final decline (2) - Record-Searchlight (blog)
ARCUS June Sea Ice Outlook – The ‘New Normal’ Posted on June 21, 2012 by Anthony Watts From ARCUS: I’m late getting this posted, apologies. WUWT comes in third highest, same position we were last year. My thanks to Helen Wiggins for allowing us to enter again this year. – Anthony With 19 responses for the Pan-Arctic Outlook (plus 6 regional Outlook contributions), the June Sea Ice Outlook projects a September 2012 arctic sea extent median value of 4.4 million square kilometers, with quartiles of 4.3 and 4.7 million square kilometers (Figure 1). This compares to observed September values of 4.6 in 2011, 4.9 in 2010, and 5.4 in 2009. Both the 2012 quartile values and the range (4.1 to 4.9) are quite narrow. The 2012 June Outlook differs from all previous Outlooks in that there are no projections of extent greater than 5.0. It is always important to note for context that all 2012 estimates are well below the 1979–2007 September mean of 6.7 million square kilometers. Figure 1. Distribution of individual Pan-Arctic Outlook values (June Report) for September 2012 sea ice extent. Download High Resolution Version of Figure 1. Individual responses are based on a range of methods: statistical, numerical models, comparison with previous rates of sea ice loss, composites of several approaches, estimates based on various non-sea ice datasets and trends, and subjective information. The consensus is for a continued downward trend of September sea ice. It seems that the time may have come to declare that the arctic sea ice has in fact reached a “New Normal.” The physical justification for this statement is based primarily on the loss of old, thick sea ice and the increased mobility of sea ice. An expanded discussion of sea ice age and thickness is included in this month’s full report, which includes new sea ice thickness data from NASA “IceBridge” aircraft flights in March–April 2012.

Funding is provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Exucse me, SJN, while I post this: "Post Wed Jun 27, 2012 10:43 am by mcgowanjm Now let's see...2005...May...2005.... O YEAH..... PO..... :twisted: the CFTC notes, as it produly announces an epic wristslap of $200 million for Barclays Bank: "The Order finds that Barclays attempted to manipulate and made false reports concerning two global benchmark interest rates, LIBOR and Euribor, on numerous occasions and sometimes on a daily basis over a four-year period, commencing as early as 2005." Surely this massive fine will teach them to never do it again, until tomorrow at least, when the British Banker Association once again finds 3 month USD liEbor to be... unchanged. In other news, who would have thought that the fringe "conspiracy" brigade was right all along once again. 062112
HAd to take care of some stuff... Now where was I... O YEAH....Notice how you Never see Israeli's Anywhere near Climate Change? You can't turn on the telly w/o seeing one talking Finance/Military/Gov't Policy... but not. one. Israeli. No person, site, paper. 'O no, my little putz, that's for the goyim', eh? I thought 'Wattsup' had folded their tent. You know, after Heartland had been found out. That the Koch Bros/Exxon had been funding them. And wasn't one of the above funding 'Watts'? So Watts is funded by Heartland. Heartland is funded by ther Koch Bros/XOM. Koch Bros/XOm get Fed subsidies. While ALL of the Above describe Dirty Fu ckin' Hippies as terr'rists. How convenient. 6C degree rise baked in. By 2035. Arctic permanently changed. Not since 15 million years ago. Or 6000, whichever religion your are. And speaking of Fundies, shouldn't you guys be helpin' the USAF (that HotBed of zioFundyism;) fight those fires?
