In 't kort: zee-ijsoppervlakte
In 't lang, maar in 't Engels.
Daily timeseries of total Arctic sea ice extent (defined as the region covered by at least 15 percent ice). The ice growth through the winter has been faster than in some recent years and the extent has been above the previous lowest winter amounts that occurred during 2005-2006. However, the sea ice extent is still well below the long-term average (1979-2000), by about 250,000 square miles, an area nearly the size of the state of Texas. While the ice extent may continue growing for a little while longer, the maximum winter extent is being neared and this will clearly be a winter with well below normal ice extent.
