Session Proposal: Coupled-system Processes of the Arctic Atmosphere-Sea Ice-Ocean System: Harnessing Field Observations and Advancing Models (AGU25)

C009
Coupled-system Processes of the Arctic Atmosphere-Sea Ice-Ocean System: Harnessing Field Observations and Advancing Models

Session ID#: 250778

Session Description:
The Arctic Basin coupled environmental system is changing rapidly, with dramatic implications for climate, weather, ecosystems, and society. Importantly, many of these changes and processes are interdependent. For example, thinner and less extensive sea ice can impact the flow of heat, the cloud lifecycle, the exchange of gases, seasonal melt and freeze of ice, ice dynamics, light available for biological productivity, and many other related physical, biogeochemical, and ecological processes. This session welcomes field, laboratory, remote sensing, and modeling studies that examine all aspects of the changing Arctic coupled system, especially including processes that cut across the atmosphere, sea ice, snow, ocean, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem. Submissions are encouraged that incorporate cross-disciplinary research topics, examine interseasonal linkages, conduct observation-model synthesis, and/or bridge the spatial and temporal scales between in situ observations and large scale remote-sensing and modeling. Contributions from recent Arctic field campaigns (e.g., MOSAiC and ARCSIX) are particularly relevant.
