Abstract:A 30 year sea ice climatology from the Climate Forecast System Reanalysis sea ice is discussed. More importantly, methods for deriving sea ice climatology from sea ice history are developed and compared. Methods commonly used for surface air temperature, for example, are not suited for sea ice and lead to substantial errors. A conditional climatology produces much more reasonable results. This approach has also already found operational use in NOAA/NWS/NCEP for Great Lakes wave modeling.
