Arctic shipping along the Northern Sea Route (NSR) relies on reliable and precise sea ice concentration (SIC) information. However, the SIC forecast used to assist NSR shipping is often inaccurate. This study proposes a VAE based Non-Autoregressive Transformer model for the long-term SIC forecast ta...
