--------------------
The organizers of the SEARCH Sea Ice Outlook announce an open community
meeting, "Sea Ice Outlook: What We Learned from 2009 and Future Plans,"
to be held during the American Geophysical Union (AGU) fall meeting on
Wednesday, 16 December 2009. The meeting will take place in the ARCUS
Arctic Community Meeting Room at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis,
Pacific Room J, from 6:30-8:00 p.m. Anyone interested is encouraged and
welcome to attend. Light refreshments (pizza and a cash bar) will be
available.

This open community meeting will provide an opportunity for the science
community to discuss what we learned from the 2009 Outlook, provide
input into planning and improvements for the 2010 Sea Ice Outlook, and
participate in the effort as a whole. We also wish to entrain new
participants in ongoing and new Outlook activities, including expansion
of the regional/Pacific Arctic outlook.

The SEARCH Sea Ice Outlook is an international effort to provide a
community-wide summary of the expected September arctic sea ice minimum
at both pan-arctic and regional scales. The Outlook produces monthly
reports during the arctic sea ice season, based on an open and inclusive
process that synthesizes input from a broad range of scientific
perspectives and methods. Sea Ice Outlook activities are supported by
the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and volunteer efforts.
