Software Test Description for the Polar Ice Prediction System 2.0.
Since 1987, the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) has been running sea ice forecasting systems in various regions of Navy interest (the Central Arctic, the Barents Sea, and the Greenland Sea). The Polar Ice Prediction System Version 1.1 predicts sea ice conditions in the Ar...
