Arctic
sea ice has been undergoing rapid and accelerated loss since satellite-based
measurements became available in late 1970s, especially the summer ice
coverage. This
presentation aims to examine and baseline regional and temporal means and
variability of Arctic sea ice climate indicators, such as the annual sea ice extent (SIE) minimum and maximum, from a consistent,
inter-calibrated, long-term time series of remote sensing sea ice data for
understanding regional vulnerability and monitoring ice state for climate
adaptation and risk mitigation.
