Summary

Description
English: Plot of arctic sea ice extent development between 1979 and 2023 in monthly mean values. For the determination of the "area" value, every pixel with a sea ice concentration > .15 is taken. The pixel area is multiplied with the concentration value derived from the passive infrared signal. For the "extent" value, the concentration value is taken as 1, so we basically get full area with >.15 concentration.
Deutsch: Verlauf der Umrissfläche des arktischen Meereises in Monatsmittelwerten von 1979 bis 2023. Für die "area"-Daten werden alle Pixel mit einer Eiskonzentration > 0.15 genommen und deren Fläche mit der Eiskonzentration multipliziert. Für die "extent"-Daten wird diese Eiskonzentration =1 gesetzt - so erhält man die Gesamtfläche mit überhaupt irgendwelchem Eis.
