Question on Sea Ice Volume
PIOMAS hasn't updated ice volume since December...

http://psc.apl.washington.edu/ArcticSeaiceVolume/IceVolume.php

...and I've read that PIPS isn't totally accurate.

http://www7320.nrlssc.navy.mil/pips2/ithi.html

Is there currently a site that gives accurate daily updates to Sea Ice Volume (with anomalies)?

1. My understanding is, volume data is much harder to obtain.
For obvious reasons -- area is easily measured from orbit.

2. I was thinking someone might have a link to a site with Cryosat-2 data
Apparently their data is being released to registered users. Since the demise of Icesat last summer and until Icesat-2 goes up in 2013, I think Cryosat data will be the most accurate as it was designed specifically with ice volume in mind.
