PIPS 3.0

Abstract

The long-term goal is to develop, test, demonstrate and evaluate nowcast/forecast systems for polar sea ice. These systems are developed and tested in this 6.2 program and then transitioned into a 6.4 program for final evaluation and testing under near real time operational conditions. This project is specifically designed to address improvements to the sea ice model presently used by the U.S. Navy as part of its Polar Ice Prediction System 2.0 (PIPS 2.0).
