With the 1 from you, and 50 from William, I'll start an artistic collection. Or something.<br /><br />Notice, by the way, that NSIDC shows October as being the 2nd lowest average extent, vs. 3rd lowest in September. Actually, rather remarkably below 2008.<br /><br />In similar vein, and per Thomas Palm's comment a while back, the AMSRE ice at IARC/JAXA showed the then-current coverage (for that day) to be the lowest ever seen. I haven't checked back in to view whether the record has sustained itself. Still, something to look at.<br /><br />One of these days, I'll get to Black Swan. It's got a few hundred ahead of it in line. It'll probably jump the line some when I get it, but it's still a pretty good line.Robert Grumbinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783453972811796911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-81320569345534077402009-11-13T18:40:05.680-05:002009-11-13T18:40:05.680-05:00Will you accept my recommendation of "The Bla...Will you accept my recommendation of "The Black Swan" as a book to read, in place of the one quatloo that I owe you? I ran up that debt by betting that the sea ice would reach a new minimum. <br /><br />Of course, it went in the other direction which really puzzled me, but I think I may have found the answer in <i>Clouds in a Glass of Beer</i> which I looked at again after your post.<br /><br />My explanation is too long for a comment, so I have posted in on my blog <a href="http://complexclimate.blogspot.com/2009/11/clouds-in-glass-of-iced-beer.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15152292130415788120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-31722053231203912672009-11-09T11:24:33.924-05:002009-11-09T11:24:33.924-05:00Thanks Term!

Science fiction is very common, which I guess is no surprise. But so are mysteries, history, classic literature, and ... well, lots of things. Details vary by who you're talking to.<br /><br />Feel free to suggest some good books yourself -- ones you've read.Robert Grumbinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783453972811796911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337555368793819627.post-40527288350581874162009-11-06T05:13:07.243-05:002009-11-06T05:13:07.243-05:00Really like it reading is my hobby and I really ad...Really like it reading is my hobby and I really admire this article..!Term Papershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02145417264678061367noreply@blogger.com
