Estimating The Timing of The Complete Clearance from Ice of The Russian Arctic Seas in Summer Period
The article discusses a statistical method for forecasting the complete ice clearance in September of the seas of the Russian Arctic, the information basis of which was the data on the area of sea ice extent (SIE) for the period 1979-2021, borrowed from the archives of the AARI and NSIDC.
