Sea Ice Outlook: 2020 July Report

Outlook Report
Executive Summary
We express our thanks to all the groups and individuals who submitted their contribution to the 2020 July Sea Ice Outlook (SIO) report during these difficult times.
We received 38 contributions of predicted September sea-ice extent that included pan-Arctic predictions (compared to 33 contributions for the June report). A total of ten groups included predictions for the Alaska Region (Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas) while seven provided predictions on pan-Antarctic extent. Additionally, we received 13 submissions of sea-ice probability

Outlook Report
Executive Summary
We express our thanks to all the groups and individuals who submitted their contribution to the 2020 June Sea Ice Outlook (SIO) report during these difficult times.
We received 33 contributions of September sea-ice extent that included pan-Arctic predictions; of those contributions, eight also included predictions for pan-Antarctic and the Alaska Region (Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas). Additionally, we received 13 submissions of sea-ice probability (SIP), and ten submissions of first ice-free date (IFD). What is new this year is that we

Sea Ice Outlook: 2019 Interim Post-Season Report

Outlook Report
Executive Summary
The Arctic has reached the end of the 2019 summer melt season. The September monthly averaged sea ice extent was 4.32 million square kilometers, based on the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) Sea Ice Index (SII). This is the third lowest in the satellite record that began in 1979. The median extent of the Outlook contributions for June (31 contributions), July (39 contributions), and August (42 contributions) were 4.40, 4.28, and 4.22 million square kilometers, respectively. Overall, the Outlooks
