The September multi-year sea ice area trend is calculated based on average multi-year sea ice area during the month of September for each year from 1968 to 2024. A statistically significant trend is reported when the Mann-Kendall test indicates the presence of a trend at the 95% confidence level.,,,,,, Source: Environment and Climate Change Canada (2024) Climate Research Division.,,,,,, Available on the Environmental indicators website (www.canada.ca/environmental-indicators).,,,,,,
