The Sea Ice Prediction Network (SIPN) held an open meeting on Wednesday, 17 December during the 2014 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall meetings.
The meeting was led by Cecilia Bitz and Muyin Wang and focused on issues related to predicting sea ice with methods that are sensitive to initial conditions. Specifically, the goal of this meeting was to set up a common protocol for experiments to test sensitivity to initial conditions in sea ice forecasts of summer 2015 and to discuss metrics that are responsive to stakeholder needs. This was an open meeting, and all SIPN and Sea Ice Outlook participants who use initial conditions in a model were invited. There were 34 members of the community in attendance. The presentation and summary notes are below.
