"New algorithm could predict Arctic sea ice up to 9 months ahead" — Phys.org · Science & Medicine
Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have developed a new algorithm, called the Random Analog Predictor (RAP), that can forecast up to nine months in advance. The algorithm is a data-driven method that uses historical sea ice data to generate seasonal forecasts, along with an estimate of uncertainty for each prediction. This represents an improvement over traditional climate models for long-range sea ice prediction.
The claim is based on a peer-reviewed paper published in Nature Scientific Reports by researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi. Phys.org reports directly from the study, and the reporting aligns with the paper's abstract found in search results. The algorithm's name (RAP) and its capability are verified across multiple sources, lending solid credibility.
The underlying research was published in Nature Scientific Reports in early October 2026, and the news coverage appeared on October 11, 2026, so this is genuinely new.
