2004 September Minimum Sea Ice Concentration

Visualizations by Cindy Starr Released on September 16, 2005

Here we see the September minimum sea ice concentration for 2004. The red line indicates the 15% mean sea ice extent derived from September 1979 - 2002.

This image shows the September minimum sea ice concentration in the Arctic in 2004 compared with a line (in red) indicating the 1979-2002 mean September 15% sea ice concentration.
