Default [CC] Global Arctic+Antarctic Sea-Ice minimum record, 20 October 2016

Global Arctic+Antarctic Sea-Ice area reached a minimum record, as per
NSIDC algorithm , data on
http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ch...sea-ice-graph/
was

20 Oct at -3.378 x10^6 km^2

comparing daily Arctic and Antarctic totals to ,of the day of the year
long-term average.
other recent totals also outside +/-3 million range
15 Oct -3.195
16 Oct -3.225
17 Oct at -3.361 x10^6 km^2
18 Oct -3.332

background comparison, +/-3 million vertical axis was considered
sufficient and recent datastream problems have confused the issue

Don't panic, I've not so far managed to confirm data integrity, despite
NSIDC quoting to 3 decimal places and suspicious lack of comment about
this record minimum.
A quote from a UK retired academic advisor for satellite polar
monitoring and IPCC member
"Yes, interesting and scary!"
