Joint Information Center

Joint Intelligence Committee (UK)

Abbreviation for Joint Ice Center, a U.S. Navy/ NOAA facility that produces sea ice analyses and forecasts on global, regional, and local scales. There are global analyses for both the northern and southern hemispheres with consist of a determination of the ice edge, the concentration of the ice, leads in the ice, and an estimation of the age of the ice. Regional ice analyses are produced twice per week for the Bering, Chuckchi and Beaufort Seas. Local scale analyses are available for ships operating in the Antarctic during the Austral summer. The JIC also produces 7- and 30-day ice forecasts as well as long-range outlooks. The 7-day forecasts are produced weekly for the eastern and western Arctic and give the expected position of the ice edge, while the 30-day forecasts are produced twice a month for the predicted ice edge position and ice concentrations in the eastern and western arctic. The long-range outlooks forecast the expected severity of ice conditions and are verified about 90 days after issuance. See ().
