In part 7 of this series I presented two well-fitting mathematical models of Antarctic sea ice that linked monthly ice extent to monthly sea surface temperature (SST) and confess to being as pleased as punch with those graceful curves arising from the laws of nature. The second model (an asymptotic form based around exponential decay) indicated zero sea…
