Arctic sea ice set for steep decline

The February 2024 temperature (at 2 meter) was much higher than in 1951-1980, especially in the Arctic, as the above image shows. The above image is adapted from NASA and shows an average February 2024 temperature anomaly of 1.44°C above 1951-1980, with anomalies showing up as high as 11°C.  The above image is created with NASA…

Potential temperature trends

[ click on images to enlarge ] The above image shows potential temperature trends. Four of the trends are global ones and one trend is based on Arctic (64°North-90°North) data: The red line is a polynomial trend based on 15 years of Arctic data (2009-2023). The green line is a linear trend based on 1880-2023…
