The Sea Ice Prediction Network South (SIPN South) is inviting contributors to participate in the first coordinated sea ice prediction experiment in the Southern Ocean, targeting February 2018.

SIPN South is an international project endorsed by the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP). Its goal is to make an initial assessment of the ability of forecasting systems to predict circumpolar-average, regional-average, and local Antarctic sea ice conditions, with a focus on the summer season.

For more information about the project and submission guidelines, please see the Call for Contributions.  The deadline for submission of the forecasts is 15 December 2017.
