The 2018 Sea Ice Outlook Full Post-Season Report centers around forecasts of pan-Arctic September minimum sea ice extent, while also including information about forecasts of sea ice probability and a synthesis of observed Arctic conditions from June to September 2018.

It also includes a review of forecasts for the Alaskan sector, an evaluation of the SIO forecast skill, discussions about Antarctic maxima sea ice extent forecasts, the Sea Ice Drift Forecast Experiment, an overview of sea ice forecasting needs of the Alaska marine shipping industry, and ideas of how to continue efforts to understand sea ice predictability and how to create information products that are accessible to stakeholders so that the science can be used in decision making to improve outcomes.

The SIO is a community network activity led by the Sea Ice Prediction Network-Phase 2 (SIPN2) Project Team with contributions from key partners.
