Recipe for quantifying the sensitivity of sea ice to global warming. Siconc data is summed for each hemisphere and then compared to the change in globally meaned, annually meaned surface air temperature. In the northern hemisphere, September sea ice data is used. In the southern hemisphere, annual mean sea ice data is used. Two plots are produced for each hemisphere, one showing the gradient of the direct regression of sea ice area over temperature, and the other showing the two separate trends over time.
Plots September sea ice sensitivity above 0 latitude in millions of square kilometres
Plots annual mean sea ice sensitivity below 0 latitude in millions of square kilometres
