This form is for collecting analysis done in the month of August. The form will be resent for the month of September to collect Outlooks based on analyses done in those months.
**PLEASE NOTE CHANGE FOR 2022:** Starting this year, in order to evaluate skill consistently, we request that SIO contributions not be repeated in subsequent months without using new data. No contributions will be automatically carried forward from one month to subsequent monthly reports. For example, please do not submit outlooks developed in August (Based on May, June, & July data) to the September SIO.
**For August & September only:** Forecasts for sea-ice advance dates (IAD) will be calculated from the full spatial fields of sea-ice concentration that extend through the ice-advance seasons as submitted via the SIPN Data Portal.
To submit full spatial fields, contact Ed Blanchard (
ed@atmos.uw.edu) to get the password for ftp.
For more information, see the SIPN Data Portal (
https://atmos.uw.edu/sipn/). To see examples and definitions of the sea-ice probability, first ice-free day and date of ice advance metrics, see Metrics for the Sea Ice Outlook (
