The Arctic Regional Ocean Observing System (Arctic ROOS) web site
presents daily updated maps and plots of the arctic sea ice from
satellite observations and ice forecasts from ice-ocean modeling. The
presentations are prepared by Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing
Center and other members of the Arctic ROOS.
The annual minimum of arctic sea ice occurs in September, and present
data shows that the sea ice minimum in 2008 will be very close to the
2007 minimum, which set a record for the lowest ice area since satellite
observations began in 1979.
