Feb. 20 (Bloomberg) -- A glitch in satellite sensors caused scientists to underestimate the extent of Arctic sea ice by 500,000 square kilometers (193,000 square miles), a California- size area, the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center said.
The error, due to a problem called “sensor drift,” began in early January and caused a slowly growing underestimation of sea ice extent until mid-February. That’s when “puzzled readers” alerted the NSIDC about data showing ice-covered areas as stretches of open ocean, the Boulder, Colorado-based group said on its Web site.
“Sensor drift, although infrequent, does occasionally occur and it is one of the things that we account for during quality- control measures prior to archiving the data,” the center said. “Although we believe that data prior to early January are reliable, we will conduct a full quality check.’’
The extent of Arctic sea ice is seen as a key measure of how rising temperatures are affecting the Earth. The cap retreated in 2007 to its lowest extent ever and last year posted its second- lowest annual minimum at the end of the yearly melt season. The recent error doesn’t change findings that Arctic ice is retreating, the NSIDC said.
The center said real-time data on sea ice is always less reliable than archived numbers because full checks haven’t yet been carried out. Historical data is checked across other sources, it said.
The NSIDC uses Department of Defense satellites to obtain its Arctic sea ice data rather than more accurate National Aeronautics and Space Administration equipment. That’s because the defense satellites have a longer period of historical data, enabling scientists to draw conclusions about long-term ice melt, the center said.
“There is a balance between being as accurate as possible at any given moment and being as consistent as possible through long time-periods,” NSIDC said. “Our main scientific focus is on the long-term changes in Arctic sea ice.”

When I've read the title of this thread I've thinked about a Google Maps bug lol
Carter, Google maps is awesome. They found some Roman ruins hidden in the green of the hills around Rome using Google earth!
Yeah I know...Google Maps found some mafioso fugitives in Palermo's sewers lol
HA!
Did they find Zio Guido?

Hopefully one day Google will find the Lost City of Atlantis and put an end to a two thousand year old debate.

Japan's boffins: Global warming isn't man-made
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02...t_translation/
So when will Gore and carbon crusade muppets admit the earth has been cooling?
When will Gore pick up a biology book?
Ask Al Gore and his idiot followers and they will say any cooling trend is just more proof that Global Warming is real.... Their is way too much money to be made by this Global Warming Swindle to admit anything, The LIE needs to live in order to receive more funding.
Speaking of which; We the tax payer just lost 280 MILLION dollars a few days ago when a Global Warming Satellite fell into the sea near Antarctica. More >

When Current.tv go to auction?
Al "the warming whore" Gore was on his way to New York to speak to the UN about Global Warming, but unfortunately that trip had to be cancelled due to unusually COLD weather and HEAVY SNOW in the New York area.
I've heard this is the 5th time a global warming rally had to be cancelled due to extreme cold and snowstorms.
Anyone who still believes anything this clown say has to dumb beyond belief.
if anyone wants to contribute to globalwarmingfraud.org - a map of gore and his snowouts...that would be funny...
maybe a cartoon
