CHFP Sea-Ice Historical Forecast Project (02 Dec 2010)
The CLIVAR Working Group on Seasonal to Interannual Predicability is coordinating the WCRP Climate-system Historical Forecast Project. This is a multi-model and multi-institutional experimental framework for sub-seasonal to decadal complete physical climate system prediction. The 'complete physical climate system' implies contributions from the atmosphere, oceans, land surface cryosphere and atmospheric composition in producing regional and sub-seasonal to decadal climate anomalies.
As part of the CFHP, I would like to bring to your attention the Sea-Ice Historical Forecast Project - a coordinated set of multi-model sensitivity experiments that have been proposed to examine the effects of sea ice initialization in seasonal prediction systems.

If you are interested in participating, please contact the coordinator Drew Peterson (drew.peterson@metoffice.gov.uk).
