Date and Time: Tuesday, 11 December 2018 | 12:30-1:30 p.m. EST
Location: Cambria Hotel Washington, D.C. Convention Center, Duke I room

The Sea Ice Prediction Network–Phase 2 (SIPN2) convened an open meeting on Tuesday, 11 December from 12:30-1:30 p.m. This meeting was open to the public and had 41 participants.

This meeting was organized to promote knowledge exchange and collaboration among members of sea ice research community. A brief overview of the 2018 Arctic sea ice/Sea Ice Outlook season was also provided.

Meeting participants were invited to share a one-minute update about their projects/efforts related to sea ice prediction and/or observations. A PowerPoint template was available, for those who wanted to share information in a slide format, upon request from Betsy Turner-Bogren, ARCUS (betsy [at] arcus.org).
