(b) Sea ice thickness anomaly in April 2016 to the mean of all previous years (2011 - 2015) of the CryoSat-2 observational data record. Blue indicates regionally thinner and red indicates thicker sea ice in 2016 than the 5 year average.[size=9][/size]

A clear case of Arctic ice thinning.

The uncertainties in CryoSat -2

" For the 9 million km2 central Arctic region, over which the large-scale sea ice volume and thickness uncertainty is estimated to be 13.5 %, n∼3, leading to an uncertainty of 23 %. Using this approach and accounting additionally for short-scale correlated errors in freeboard associated with interpolating sea surface heights, we estimate the uncertainty in sea ice thickness increases to 25 % at the 5 km scale of our 28-day NRT grid."

"R. L. Tilling et al.: Near-real-time Arctic sea ice thickness and volume from CryoSat-2"

Only 25%? That's all right then.

Greenland can't really melt until the sea ice does.

That is how the change in advection happens!

Am I? No, don’t think I am. But you are pooping your pants. Hate to think how you will melt down once the melt starts to really hit its stride in the next couple of months Cheesy
