The scatterometer data we use to retrieve wind allow measuring the wind speed and direction over open ocean. Due to land contamination of the data, we however remove the biased information in coastal areas. That is why our measurement miss here the centre of the hurricane.

The v2.3 of our Sea-Ice Index is based on our Sea-Ice Concentration Interim Climate Data Record using AMRS2. Last 16 days are based on the fast-track data generated faster than the nominal ones, that may differ slightly.

As usually, September is the month when the #Arctic sees its minimum extent (5,071,505km² on 07/09/2025) and the #Antarctic its maximum (18,281,296km² on 13/09/2025)
