Fig. 8: Relationship between cumulative cool season ice volume flux into the Beaufort Sea region and June 1 Beaufort Sea ice volume 1980–2021.

Scatterplot of the cool season (October 1 - June 1 following year) PIOMAS ice volume flux and June 1 PIOMAS ice volume anomaly. Linear least squares fit to the data for the two regimes are also shown as are the percentage of the variance explained. The ice volume time series has been detrended by step functions with a breakpoint in 2007.
