The Sea Ice Prediction Network South (SIPN South) is an international
project endorsed by the Year Of Polar Prediction (YOPP). SIPN South aims
at delivering an initial assessment of seasonal sea ice forecasting
capabilities around Antarctica. As a first major milestone of the
project, 160 sea ice forecasts for February 2018 were collected,
analyzed and assessed against two observational references. We are very
grateful to the 13 contributors that expressed a great enthousiasm in
the project.
The report, discussing February 2018 conditions and how they were
predicted, is now available from the SIPN South website:
http://acecrc.org.au/sipn-south/
Note that the forecast data are open to public, in order to maximize
their use within and outside the polar prediction community.
The next milestone will be the coordination of sea ice forecasts for
January-February 2019, that is, during the YOPP Special Observing Period
for the Southern Hemisphere. All comments and feedbacks on the project
are welcome by then.
With best regards,
On behalf of the SIPN South Leadership Team,
François Massonnet
