NOAA releases February global anaylsis

NOAA released its global analysis for February 2014 this morning. Interesting to see it in graphical form (below).

The most interesting coincidence is that the sea ice extent at the north and south pole are the fourth-lowest and fourth-highest, respectively, on record. Another highlight was that the combined average global temperature, at 0.41°C (0.74°F) above the 20th century average, was the 21st-highest February average on record. It tied with 2001.
