No, it doesn't.
A 1461 day moving average would. Or a multiple of that.

A day of difference would be a day of difference. During the fast changing season periods the change is 2x the annual average change. High daily averages top 100k per day. Divide that by 10x and you get 10k per day - against the max variance of 150-200k. That is significant.

You were looking at it. The northern hemispheric sea ice extent data shows a quite clear 22 year full cycle (or two individual 11-year cycles).

10-year moving average is off due to leap years. That skews the average. Looking at the graph, the variance of the northern hemisphere is up to 150k and some few % of that might be the leap year effect. 12-year average is also closer than 10-year average to the solar cycle 11.2 year cycle. Nitpicking, but why not?

Reply to comment by o0oo00o0o in Wind power is built at an increasing pace but its effect on nature and animals is poorly known. Researchers investigated the impact of wind turbines on bat presence and activity in Finnish boreal forests. The results indicate that wind power repels bats and drives them away from important habitats. by universityofturku

But do you also do that for marine mammals (and fish) on shipping noise?
And what about radars for air travel?
