The plots below show the Arctic sea-ice area (Fig. 1) and volume (Fig. 2) in March and September from some of the [CMIP6](https://esgf-node.llnl.gov/search/cmip6/) historical runs (data kindly downloaded by Klaus Zimmermann). Also shown are the multi-model means (thick dashed black curve) and observations/reanalysis (thick solid black curve).
Fig. 1: Time series of Arctic sea-ice area in March (A) and September (B). The number in brackets indicates the number of members to compute the mean sea-ice area for each model (number of models for the multi-model mean).
Fig. 2: Time series of Arctic sea-ice volume in March (A) and September (B). The number in brackets indicates the number of members to compute the mean sea-ice volume for each model (number of models for the multi-model mean).
Important note: These figures were produced by D. Docquier and constitute preliminary results (not published in papers).
