IOCAS-SIPNet sea ice prediction for SIPN​ south 2023​-2024

IOCAS-SIPNet_001_20231201-20240228_total-area：This file with one row and 90 comma-separated values, each expressing daily sea-ice area for the 31 + 31 + 28 days of the December-February period. Units must be 106 km².

IOCAS-SIPNet_001_20231201-20240228_regional-area：This file with 36 rows each displaying 90 comma-separated values following the same requirements as diagnostic 1. Each row corresponds to a 10° longitude bin. First row: 0° - 10°; second row: 10°-20°; …, 36th row: 350°-360°.

IOCAS-SIPNet_001_20231201-20240228_concentration: A NetCDF file with 90 timesteps (one per day from December 1st 2023 to February 28th 2024). Each time step displays the spatial field of sea-ice concentration. The file format must follow the CMIP6 conventions:

- Sea-ice concentration is defined as the fraction of the grid cell covered by sea ice, is named siconc, and is expressed in %.

- Longitude and latitude are reported under variables longitude and latitude.

- A land-sea mask is provided through a variable named sftof that expresses the percentage of the grid cell covered by ocean (units %).

- Areas of grid cells are provided through a variable named areacello that expresses the area of the grid cell in m².
