Scientists blog from Antarctica and provide a glimpse of what it's like to do research in the field. 
What's hot in the news around climate and sea ice and what are scientists talking about now? Data Sets
This page lists the Sea Ice Prediction Network target data products currently available. Data sets suitable for both hindcast evaluations and seasonal forecasting are listed. Near Real Time data sets are listed at the top of each section. If you are interested in contributing your data to the list of Sea Ice Prediction Network data sets, please Email: Julienne Stroeve, NSIDC (Project PI / NSF PI).
