Very clear. Fantastic!
I tried to create an automated system to publish on the website of amateur weather station of Alba (CN) Italy (http://www.meteoalba.com/wxgfs.php).
I have also taken some advice from blog Braz (thanks Eoin Brazil) …

thanks and happy holidays!

Great post Joe!

I’ve had some fun trying to get install some of the libraries from source until I realised MacPorts made everything so much easier!

Here’s my modified version based on your example – http://braz.blogspot.com/2009/12/r-for-global-climate-forecasting.html

Merry Christmas and let me know if you are around town again as I’ve heard that LIT might still have a few places in their LEAP programme, which starts a new intake in February.

Comment on Arctic Sea Ice Extent Data by joe

The Arctic sea ice melt season ended in mid september according to AMSR-E.

The sea ice extent anomaly plot has been updated above.

As you can see, the anomaly at maximum melt is negative i.e. the 2009 melt is greater than expected relative to the long term trend. However the anomaly is much less negative than in was in 2007 or 2008.
