Seeing how well predictions for September Arctic sea ice did in 2014
In August, I published a post listing predictions of what the average September sea ice extent would be in 2014 . Since September 2014 is now past, we can go back and see how those predictions panned out. First, here are the predictions again: Month Model R 2 Ice extent in 2014 (millions of km 2 ) Predicted Sept. ice extent (millions of km 2 ) Graph June -13.5300 + 1.6913x 0.7522 11.09 5.23 July -4.80933 + 1.18618x 0.8796 8.17 4.88 August -1.69389 + 1.12965x 0.9674 6.13 5.23
