Long-term trends in Arctic sea-ice concentration are much more widespread in August (and September) than during other months. The largest declines are in parts of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. Sea ice concentration = fraction of ice-cover. More info at journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

Polar stereographic map showing Arctic sea ice concentration trends for Augusts from 1979 to 2024. Red shading is shown for deceasing sea ice, and blue shading is shown for increasing sea ice. Trends are calculated in % per decade. All areas are observing decreasing sea ice in the outer edges of the Arctic Ocean.
