A quick update for sea ice extent:
- Global Sea Ice Extent is 955,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
- Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,451,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean. That is the 37th daily record for 2014.
- Arctic Sea Ice Extent is -497,000 sq km below the 1981-2010 mean. And just below the one standard deviation mark.

Can you run me a chart of the AMO data and Global sea ice and Arctic sea ice minimums.
AMO data here. use un smoothed data

I would do it but just learning about to make charts.
Thanks, I think you will see the a 100% connection.
What do you mean by minimums? The lowest value for a month or year? Or the anomaly?
I did this one a while back.
