Amid a summer of record heat, the most dramatic impact may be taking place under the cover of Antarctic night.
Antarctic sea ice usually reaches its nadir between February and March before regrowing over the next six or so months. This year, it hit a record low in February and has struggled to grow back. As of mid-July, there was an Argentina-sized chunk of ice missing, according to an analysis by the National Snow and Ice Data Center .
An event that falls within the one sigma range is something pretty close to average. Reach two sigma and you are starting to get into slightly odd territory, while three sigma events are outside the expected range of normal and in the domain of “huh, somebody should really look into what’s going on”. The sea ice was around that level in June, according to Lettie Roach, an associate research scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Columbia University.
