The Arctic Blue Ocean Event and the Last Ice Area, and Today’s Record Low Winter Sea Ice

Arctic Sea Ice is supposed to be growing like gangbusters since it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Instead, the Arctic has been very warm, and the sea ice area is puttering along at record low levels, well below the previous record low year of 2012 which was pretty close to a Blue Ocean Event.

Will we see such an event this coming summer?
What is the Last Ice Area, and what does the new peer-reviewed paper just published last week say about this?

New Peer-Reviewed Scientific Paper:
Revisiting the Last Ice Area projections from a high-resolution Global Earth System Model

Abstract
The Last Ice Area—located to the north of Greenland and the northern Canadian Arctic Archipelago—is expected to persist as the central Arctic Ocean becomes seasonally ice-free within a few decades. Projections of the Last Ice Area, however, have come from relatively low resolution Global Climate Models that do not resolve sea ice export through the waterways of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and Nares Strait. Here we revisit Last Ice Area projections using high-resolution numerical simulations from the Community Earth System Model, which resolves these narrow waterways. Under a high-end forcing scenario, the sea ice of the Last Ice Area thins and becomes more mobile, resulting in a large export southward. Under this potentially worst-case scenario, sea ice of the Last Ice Area could disappear a little more than one decade after the central Arctic Ocean has reached seasonally ice-free conditions. This loss would have profound impacts on ice-obligate species.
