2012 has ended the year with a total (ice) volume that's around 1000 km3 less than 2010 and 2011
2012 has ended the year with a total volume that's around 1000 km3 less than 2010 and 2011, but there's still three months to go so maybe, hopefully, the trend line will go up a bit.
Last year's melting season has convinced me that PIOMAS is doing a fairly accurate job of modelling ice volume, and so I view this data as the number one indicator of the overall health of the Arctic sea ice cover. If the 2013 trend line keeps trailing below the others, it doesn't bode well for the melting season to come. Not well at all.
