The daily Sea Ice Index provides a quick look at Arctic-wide changes in sea ice. It provides consistently processed daily ice extent and concentration images and data since 1979. Daily extent images show ice extent at concentrations greater than 15% for a given day with an outline of the typical extent for that day based on a 30-year (1981-2010) median (orange line).| nsidc.org

ENSO-neutral continued in November, with near-average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) observed across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean [Fig. 1]. Similar to the last couple of months, the latest weekly Niño indices ranged from +0.1°C (Niño-1+2) to -0.4°C (Niño-3; [Fig. 2]). Below-average subsurface ocean temperatures persisted [Fig. 3] across the east-central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean [Fig. 4]. Over the western and central equatorial Pacific, low-level wind anom...| www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov
