The Sea Ice Prediction Network (SIPN) announces the call for contributions for the 2017 Sea Ice Outlook July report (based on May and June data).
Submission deadline: 6:00 p.m. (AKDT) on Thursday, 13 July 2017.
Note that there is a new submission process this year, which is summarized below; guidelines for contributors can be found at:
https://www.arcus.org/sipn/sea-ice-outlook/2017/july/call.
The Sea Ice Outlook provides an open process for those interested in Arctic sea ice to share ideas. The monthly reports contain a variety of perspectives—from advanced numerical models to qualitative perspectives from citizen scientists. A post-season report will provide an in-depth analysis of factors driving sea ice this summer as well as explore the scientific methods for predicting seasonal conditions.
Pan-Arctic and Alaska Regional Sea Ice Extent Outlooks and any additional figures and gridded fields will be accepted for the 2017 July Outlook. We particularly encourage submissions for the Alaska region (i.e., Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort seas). Submissions that include spatial forecast maps are encouraged. We are also accepting pan-Antarctic sea ice extent of the September monthly mean.
We encourage all past contributors to submit Outlooks this year and we also hope to see new participants!
NEW SUBMISSION PROCESS:
An on-line form has been designed for submitting contributions to the 2017 SIO, in order to make the submission process as efficient as possible. If you submitted an Outlook in June, you can use the link that was emailed to you from "Google Forms" to edit your previous entries.
Required and core information will be collected on a Google-based form:
https://goo.gl/forms/kKSpPgjyD9B4I1IC3
Submissions of more detailed Outlooks reports, including discussions of uncertainties, probabilities, relevant figures, references, and submissions of gridded data or full spatial fields will be accepted via Dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/request/FogfdEenGGNxbd9t7WMN
Note: If either the Google form or Dropbox are not workable options, files may be sent via email to: sio2017 [at] arcus.org.
