Chronology of PSEs: 1988: first PSE 1992, 2000: major campaigns Yearly small, dedicated campaigns

Frequency of depletion episodes is increasing (0.7 % y -1 ), evidence of climate change? Most episodes occur where surface temperature is < -20 0 C Frost flower growth is efficient over new sea-ice, at a rate inversely proportional to temperature
