Original Note:
NNN Note is misleading. Sea ice extent is a measurement of the ocean where there is at least some sea ice. Scientists define a threshold of minimum concentration to mark the ice edge but other factors such as concentration and thickness need to be accounted for. https://nsidc.org/learn/parts-cryosphere/sea-ice/quick-facts-about-sea-ice#:~:text=Sea%20ice%20extent%20is%20a,cutoff%20is%20at%2015%20percent. https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/2023/02/antarctic-sea-ice-extent-sets-a-new-record-low/
