Thanks TR. Sometime I will figure out how to do the picture thing. (Button) | Syntax | Options | | [img src="http://somesite/image.jpg"]
or
[img src="http://somesite/image.jpg" width=### height=###] | 
The Button inserts a selected web address of an existing image into a Post or PM.
Image sizes can be changed using the “width=†and “height=†parameters together. |
;D |

Though I feel only a re-currance of the 'perfect storm' could drop us below the million mark in Sept (seasonal Pack) i cannot see where you guys are seeing a 'healthy pack' up North this year? Southern Beaufort is a mess already (pull off the Alaskan coast ans breaking into ever smaller slabs, The Fram Train has been spewing our precious 3rd/4th and 5th yr ice into the north Atlantic all through 2012, the 'late growth in areas like Bering is thin ice outside the basin with any 'drift from the interior pack 'patched over by thin FY ice.
The East Siberian sea is , of course ,a worry and this is also covered in thin FY ice. We saw the last of the channels of the C.A. melt out last year so the NW Passage looks set to be open again in Aug (along with the N. Sea Route.....more ships Capt.s reporting boiling seas up there then???).
All in all I can see a worse sea ice year than last year which had little or no transport out of the basin over the summer. If we can go second lowest on in-situ melt within the Arctic Basin then where will we go this year with a higher percentage of thin FY ice and Fram running at full bore?
By late June we will start to see open water opening up over the pole (all that area is FY ice and may account for the lack of a 'pole cam' this year?) leaving a lot of space for the trans polar drift to work on. Maybe we will get to see the 'Babies arm' (south Beaufort Across to the East Siberian sea) drift out of Fram by melt seasons end?

The global sea ice anomaly is positive. Arctic is is at the "average"... And the Antarctic has been above the norm almost forever... ... and Arctic temps are as they should be. Why don't you take a trip to northeast Greenland? The fresh air will do you good. |
