Best piece I’ve read on the subject. My compliments.

This research may be interpreted as showing that Arctic sea ice can recover, if given the chance (duh), but it can also be evidence of the wild swings one sees just before a system flips to a new state. Big swings and extremes somehow fail to comfort me.

Coincidentally the big question for this melting season is whether the rebound will remain intact or gets wiped out, as the past 3-4 weeks have been very warm and skies over large parts of the Arctic have been clear, especially in those regions where a lot of thicker, multi-year ice is situated. If it does get wiped out, the Arctic will remain poised for large losses and new records.

That means that anything can happen if a melting season starts out with little MYI and volume, the ice pack gets heavily preconditioned during May and June, and then weather conditions conducive to melting, compaction and transport finish the job in July and August.

'A carefully planned, 115-day scientific expedition on board the floating research vessel, the CCGS Amundsen, has been derailed as the icebreaker was called to help resupply ships navigate heavy ice in Hudson Bay.

"Obviously it has a large impact on us," says Martin Fortier, executive director of ArcticNet, which coordinates research on the vessel. "It's a frustrating situation."

During the summer, the  Amundsen operates as a floating research centre with experiments running 24 hours a day. This year it was scheduled to reach North Baffin Bay.

But the icebreaker has been rerouted to escort commercial ships en route to resupply communities in Northern Quebec on the eastern side of Hudson Bay.

Johnny Leclair, assistant commissioner for the Coast Guard, said Tuesday conditions in the area are the worst he's seen in 20 years.'
