NOAA shows about 25% more ice covered ocean than NSIDC.
Look for people to be making claims of record minimums with about 0.1% precision.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I expect the excuse to be “different calculation methods”, however I would at least expect something much closer between the two departments.
Perhaps someone who uses that excuse can enlighten as to why NOAA and NSIDC each work with such a difference.
Perhaps someone could explain why 2 departments, funded by the people, are doing exactly the same thaing twice.
Steve,
Just as I predicted: your previous posts using the dodgy NOAA data are a big steaming pile of donkey droppings. DO hope you’ll be going back to correct them!
137% MY ARSE!
Here’s some accurate data from the ever-reliable Cryosphere Today:

As you can clearly see, if you hadn’t have chickened out of betting with me, you’d now owe me $5,000.
2012 is way the lowest ice area ever.
You lucky boy!
OK Jak, lets bet $10 million that the Arctic won’t be ice free this year.
If you hadn’t chickened out, I would be a multi-millionaire.
What a flaming maroon.
Didn’t you bet with someone else as well Steve for $50? Using JAXA extent?
Sounds a more sensible bet level. I hope you are going to pay up Steve!
Andy
And I hope you learn how to compare numbers. JAXA is not below the 2007 minimum, but feel free to make dumb comments.
Well, not right now – but it is still a good 3 weeks or so before the typical date of minimum extent. In 2007 almost 700,000 sq km of ice extent was lost between August 22 and the minimum. If a similar amount is lost this year it will beat 2007 by half a million sq km
