Observing, Modeling, & Understanding Arctic Ocean & Sub-Arctic Sea Circulation: US CLIVAR workshop
This is the January 2024 meeting of the Modeling, Observing, Modeling, and Prediction Collaboration Team. The meeting focused on the outcomes of the "Observing, Modeling, and Understanding the Circulation of the Arctic Ocean and Sub-Arctic Seas" workshop hosted by the US Climate Variability and Predictability program (US CLIVAR), with a presentation by James Morison (University of Washington). The workshop explored the state of knowledge of Arctic Ocean and sub-Arctic seas circulation with particular attention focused on identifying critical gaps in observations of modes of variability. It also explored the observing system needs and data assimilation approach to track the modes of variability in circulation, and the practical, institutional, technical, and geopolitical challenges of increasing the coverage of Arctic Ocean observations.
