NOAA says “Sea ice extent continues to decline, with the last 17 September extents (2007-23) as the lowest on record” “yet resiliency and opportunity lie within diverse partnerships.”
“More frequent extreme weather and climate events are transforming the Arctic, yet resiliency and opportunity lie within diverse partnerships.
The Arctic is increasingly warmer, less frozen, and wetter, with regional extremes in weather, climate patterns, and ecosystem responses. Centering locally and internationally-focused partnerships, long-term observations, and equitable climate solutions provides Arctic communities and nations as well as society-at-large with information and mechanisms to cope with a rapidly changing Arctic.
Sea ice extent continues to decline, with the last 17 September extents (2007-23) as the lowest on record. Sea ice extent was 6th lowest in the satellite record, since 1979.”
Report Card 2023 – NOAA Arctic
There has been no trend in maximum, mean or minimum sea ice extent over the past seventeen years, and extent this year has been above the 21st century average almost every day.
