Sea Ice Minimum Concentration 3-year moving averages for 1979-1981 to 2003-2005
This animation shows a 3-year moving average of minimum sea ice concentration for from 1979-1981 through 2003-2005. Average climatology from 1979 to 2004 which is shown as a yellow outline is also included. This line represents the average location of the edge of perennial sea ice cover.
