September Mean Sea Ice Concentration Anomaly fade from 2002 to 2003 with Mean Ice Extent Contour

Visualizations by Cindy Starr Released on June 13, 2006
This animation fades between the September mean sea ice concentration anomaly for the years 2002 and 2003. Blue values indicate a loss in sea ice concentration while red values indicate an increase. A black line marks the average sea ice extent from 1979-2002.
