ZLabe , 4 days ago Year-to-year variability with a long-term decline in May #Arctic sea ice volume (bar) and thickness (map). Updated through May 2024 🧊 Additional graphics: https://zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-volumethickness/ Animation showing a geographic map of the Arctic and a bar graph with Arctic sea ice thickness and volume for each May from 1979 to 2024. There is a long-term decreasing trend, but also large interannual variability. Sea ice thickness and volume is shown using shades of pink and yellow. Thickness ranges from 0 to 5 meters. Volume has dropped from about 32,000 km^3 to 22,00 km^3. Data is from PIOMAS v2.1.
