2019 Sea Ice Outlook Interim Post-Season Report
The 2019 Sea Ice Outlook Interim Post-Season Report is now available. The September monthly averaged sea ice extent at the end of the 2019 summer melt season was 4.32 million square kilometers. This is the third lowest in the satellite record that began in 1979.
This interim report is intended as a quick postseason update that summarizes how the outlooks did in comparison to the observed September monthly mean extent. A full post-season report, to be published in February 2020, will include an in-depth analysis of factors impacting sea ice this past summer, further discussion about the outlooks, comments on regional observation, predicted spatial fields, Antarctic contributions, and a summary from the Sea Ice Drift Forecast Experiment (SIDFEx).
SIPN Data Portal
The SIPN Data Portal, a contribution to SIPN2 and the Sea Ice Outlook, displays analysis of sea ice forecasts and compares them with observations.
Sea Ice Data at NSIDC
Through the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), SIPN manages a comprehensive list of datasets useful for sea ice prediction.
