The following data compare MODICE (1strike) areas to passive microwave sea ice area and extent by month and region. Each small plot is of residuals (take actual value of parameter for given time period and subtract mean for that time period). Data are grouped in general categories:
Seaice values are arranged by month in columns. 24 columns are included, the first 12 columns compare the MODICE to the given month in the same year as MODICE, the second 12 columns compare MODICE to the seaice month for the subsequent year.
Seaice regions include "total" and various Arctic subregions, and include both area (area-weighed by sea ice concentration for a given pixel) and extent (all areas with concentration >=15% counted for the area of the pixel) values.
Each comparison plot includes an OLS regression line. Regression lines with slopes different from zero at 95% confidence (p<0.05) are drawn in red.
