I work in this field, it's not that hidden. Here are some helpful links: Sea Ice Thickness, freeboard, + lots of extras if you know how to plot netCDF https://n5eil01u.ecs.nsidc.org/ICEBRIDGE/RDEFT4.001/ http://data.seaiceportal.de/gallery/index_new.php?lang=en_US&active-tab1=method&active-tab2=satellite http://www.cpom.ucl.ac.uk/csopr/seaice.html Good general reference: https://sites.google.com/site/arcticseaicegraphs/ Arctic weather forecasts: https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=gfs&region=nhem&pkg=z500a&runtime=2018010212&fh=-12

Jesus Christ this is the worst thread on this board, someone needs to clean up for sure. Arctic sea ice measurement and dynamics is a legitimate science not some political football. It deserves a quality discussion.

Don't have to guess around about Arctic sea ice thickness anymore these days. Cryosat is pretty damn reliable as far as freeboard goes. This year doesn't look so bad in the central Arctic.
