Sustaining an Integrated Arctic Ocean Observing System - Opportunities, Challenges and Benefits

Session ID#: 85408

Session Description:
This session welcomes contributions presenting initiatives, opportunities and challenges related to implementing, enhancing and sustaining components of an integrated Arctic ocean observing system. The needs for in situ observing systems in the Arctic are expected to grow rapidly in the coming years as a result of expanding human activities in the region. Many countries plan to increase their research efforts and to participate in the exploitation of resources and development of transport systems, and thus play a role in the economic growth in the region (Arctic Research Commission, 2016). The opportunities to collect more environmental and climate data in the Arctic are therefore expected to increase. Observing systems are often set up to serve specific applications, such as climate monitoring, ocean forecasting systems, natural hazard monitoring (storm surges, earthquakes), pollution monitoring or fisheries management. In this session particular focus is on multipurpose observing technology and platforms that form an integrated shared infrastructure for use in the Arctic Ocean and seas, such as drifting buoys and floats, moored observatories with multidisciplinary sensors and samplers, acoustics networks for geo-positioning, tomography, and ocean sound (now an essential ocean variable, EOV), local to basin wide cabled observing systems (e.g. SMART cables – Science Monitoring And Reliable Telecommunications), and community-based-monitoring.
