Intense summer cyclones disrupt the sea ice cover of the Arctic Ocean and are an important factor in its continuing demise. These cyclones can be challenging to forecast more than three days in advance. This study employs a regional forecast model optimized for Arctic conditions in conjunction with an advanced method to produce starting conditions for the model prediction. A highly accurate cyclone forecast was obtained five days ahead with forecast skill continuing for a further two days.

IntroductionDominant optic atrophy (DOA; OMIM #165500) is the most prevalent inherited optic neuropathy, affecting an estimated 1:10,000 to 1:50,000 individuals worldwide (Kivlin et al., 1983; Kjer et al., 1996; Yu-Wai-Man et al., 2010a; Yu-Wai-Man et al., 2011). DOA is characterized by the preferential degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), whose axons make up the optic nerve. RGC loss causes progressive bilateral vision loss that often begins in the first decade of life.
