What it does

This app displays the monthly mean sea ice extent for the Arctic and Antarctic and compares it with the historical median extent. Graphs are also used to visualize the minimum and maximum extent for each year (top), and the monthly time series for each year (bottom). Use the top graph to select specific years to display in the map.
