conversely, without that satellite data we wouldn't be able to monitor the ice growing and/or expanding in thickness or in area without that physical presence.
that gap in coverage would confound the models currently used to forecast and we would essentially be flying blind.

it could also be used to hide or disguise the change in the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation gyre that appears to be cooling...
"Because PDO cycles last 25 to 30 years, Easterbrook expects the cooling trend to continue for another 2 decades or so. Easterbrook, in fact, documents 40 such alternating periods of warming and cooling over the past 500 years, with similar data going back 15,000 years. He further expects the flipping of the ADO to add to the current downward trend."
