Advancements, Gaps and Needs in Observing, Understanding and Modeling the High-Latitude Earth Systems
Session ID#: 123649
Session Description:
The high-latitude Earth systems (HLES) are undergoing rapid changes, the consequences of which have global environmental and societal impacts. Given the recent field activities such as the MOSAiC expedition and the IARPC coordinated U.S. Arctic Observing Network, combined with the ongoing analyses of CMIP6 and other model results, this session aims to bring together observational and modeling communities to discuss the current advancements, knowledge gaps, and needs for an improved understanding of the HLES.
We invite presentations focused on observing or modeling HLES from local events/processes, such as polar storms, moisture intrusions, polynya events and spring phytoplankton blooms, through their roles in the coupled system, to hemispheric/global perspectives. We also encourage presentations that advance understanding and modeling of extreme events, internal variability and forced trends of polar climate, their linkages to lower latitudes as well as predictability of HLES changes.
