The PIOMAS project is just a calculation based on other satellite observations, the model has been verified using 2 different satellites, one launched in 2003, and another in 2010. [0] Their paper on the model was released in 2003. My mistake was that I was looking at the 2015 line, because the color and design looks exactly like 2022.

- pier25 4y agoIf you read that part in Wikipedia again you will see those dates are about the ICESat and Cryosat projects (that are now contributing to PIOMAS). But PIOMAS has been collecting Arctic ice data since 1979. For example: http://psc.apl.uw.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/schweiger/ice_volume/BPIOMASIceVolumeAnomalyCurrentV2.1.png http://psc.apl.uw.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/schweiger... If you don't believe, download the PIOMAS data and check it yourself. https://psc.apl.uw.edu/research/projects/arctic-sea-ice-volume-anomaly/data/ https://psc.apl.uw.edu/research/projects/arctic-sea-ice-volu...
- soperj 4y agoI understand that they've been using data collected by satellites since 1979, but they didn't even come up with the model until 99, and released the paper on it in 2003, so the model was used retrospectively on data previously collected, not specifically collected for that project. You can see that in your own link.
