Role of the Arctic atmosphere in the global climate system: Atmosphere Community Jan 2024 Meeting
In the lead up to its 35th anniversary in 2025, the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) and partner entities are coordinating a multi-year planning process for the Fourth International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV). This process will last from 2022 until 2026 and is meant to engage Arctic researchers, Indigenous Peoples, policy makers, residents, and stakeholders from around the world to collegially discuss the state of Arctic science, the place the Arctic occupies in global affairs and systems. Under this process, ICARP-IV is assembling Research Priority Teams (RPTs) on seven different topics. This meeting was meant to introduce the US Arctic Atmospheric Research community to the ICARP-IV process, and focus discussion on ICARP-IV Research Topic 1: “The Role of the Arctic in the Global System”. Subsequent meetings (February, March) will focus on different ICARP-IV Research Topics.
Presentations:
Brief overview of the ICARP-IV and associated processes – Gijs de Boer (CIRES)
More frequent atmospheric rivers slow the seasonal recovery of Arctic sea ice – Pengfei Zhang (Penn State)
The influence of declining North American spring snow cover on the synoptic-scale forcing of Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss – Jonathon Preece (UGA)
Sea ice loss, water vapor increases, and their interactions with atmospheric energy transport in driving seasonal polar amplification – Po-Chun Chung (UCSC)
