The Sea Ice Prediction Network–Phase 2 (SIPN2) Project Team announces the Call for Contributions for the 2021 Sea Ice Outlook (SIO) June Report (based on May data).
The SIO provides an open process for those interested in Arctic sea ice to share ideas. The monthly reports contain a variety of perspectives—from advanced numerical models to qualitative perspectives from citizen scientists. Post-Season reports focus on performance of the Outlooks, analysis and discussion of factors driving sea ice extent, and scientific methods for predicting seasonal conditions.
Organizers are accepting outlooks for pan-Arctic, pan-Antarctic, and Alaskan regional September monthly mean sea-ice extent. We particularly encourage submissions for the Alaska region (i.e., Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas). Submissions that include spatial forecast maps are particularly encouraged. Estimates of Ice-Free Dates (IFD), as well as any additional figures and gridded fields, will be accepted for the 2021 June Outlook via the SIPN Data Portal
The team encourages all past contributors to submit Outlooks for 2021 and also hope to see new participants. Please feel free to distribute this overview to others who might be interested in participating in the SIO.
