Will the monthly Arctic Sea Ice Volume for December 2023, as reported from the PIOMAS reanalysis, be greater than or equal to 12,500 km^3?

The market will resolve YES if the number reported from PIOMAS (presently at 

http://psc.apl.uw.edu/research/projects/arctic-sea-ice-volume-anomaly/data/

) for the "Monthly Ice Volume" is greater than or equal to 12,500 km^3. I will use the csv data linked in the above URL. Please note the data is in units of 10^3 km^3, so a value of 12.500 in the .csv file equals 12,500 km^3; e.g., a value of >= 12.500 in the csv file for December 2023 will resolve YES; a value < 12.500 will resolve NO).

Quote from the PIOMAS [1] web page: "Sea ice volume is an important climate indicator. It depends on both ice thickness and extent and therefore more directly tied to climate forcing than extent alone."

This market will close on January 1. I will try to resolve the market within a day of the data for December 2023 becoming available. To keep the market somewhat timely, I will give up to (roughly) three weeks for the data to be published; specifically, if the data for the month of December 2023 is not available for download by January 21, 2024 12:00 PM EST, I will resolve this market to N/A then.

Keep in mind that PIOMAS is a reanalysis, so this market's question is ultimately predicting the model's estimate for arctic ice volume (see the PIOMAS "Purpose" section for more information).
