webinar is open to all interested participants, including sea ice
researchers, students, decision-makers, and others. Registration will be

WORKSHOP - REQUEST TO ATTEND
The Sea Ice Prediction Workshop will be held at National Center for
Atmospheric Research (NCAR) on 1-2 April 2014 in Boulder, Colorado.
The workshop goal is to plan for the 2014 SEARCH Sea Ice Outlook (SIO)
and to advance the science of sea ice prediction by coordinating
experiments, defining and developing data sets for initialization and
validation, creating new and better metrics for evaluation, and
discussing stakeholder needs.
Anticipated participants include SIO contributors, data experts, sea ice
experts, experts on prediction from other fields, and U.S. agency
program managers.
Workshop space is limited. Organizers ask those interested in attending
to send a brief (about 100 words) statement of interest and summary of
work related to sea ice prediction to Cecilia Bitz (bitz [at] uw.edu).
The workshop is funded, in part, by the Department of Energy. There will
be no registration fee. Participants will be asked for a small donation
for refreshments. Limited funding is available for travel support. If
attendance is contingent on receiving travel support, please explain
travel needs and note if PhD has been received within five years.
