NASA GMAO (Cullather et al.), 5.03 (+ / - 0.41), Modeling The GMAO seasonal forecasting system predicts a September average Arctic ice extent of 5.03 ± 0.41 million km2, about 4.7 percent less than the 2014 value.

Climate models are like weather models for the atmosphere and land, except they have to additionally predict the ocean currents, sea - ice changes, include seasonal vegetation effects, possibly even predict vegetation changes, include aerosols and possibly atmospheric chemistry, so they are not like weather models after all, except for the atmospheric dynamics, land surface, and cloud / precipitation component.

This study assesses the ability of the Canadian Seasonal to Interannual Prediction System (CanSIPS) and the Canadian Earth - system Model 2 (CanESM2) to predict and simulate snow and sea ice from seasonal to multi-decadal timescales, with a focus on the CanadianSeasonal to Interannual Prediction System (CanSIPS) and the Canadian Earth - system Model 2 (CanESM2) to predict and simulate snow and sea ice from seasonal to multi-decadal timescales, with a focus on the Canadianseasonal to multi-decadal timescales, with a focus on the Canadian sector.

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.

A smaller multiyear ice area in the Arctic Ocean means that the sea ice summer extent is more sensitive to weather conditions during summer and thus more difficult to predict using statistical regression analysis since seasonal weather forecasts are not reliable.

NASA Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (Cullather et al.), 5.23 (± 3.0), Modeling (full - coupled)(Same as June) The GMAO seasonal forecasting system predicts a September average Arctic ice extent of 5.23 ± 0.30 km2, about 13 percent greater than the 2015 value.

Most studies on ice predictability have used a perfect - model approach, in which a climate model is used to predict conditions simulated by that model, and have focused on seasonal to interannual predictability (e.g., Holland et al., 2011; Blanchard - Wrigglesworth et al., 2011; Chevallier and Salas - Melia, 2012).
