Abstract International Arctic Systems for Observing the Atmosphere (IASOA) activities and partnerships were initiated as a part of 2007–09 Polar Year (IPY) are expected to continue many decades legacy program. The IASOA focus is on coordinating intensive measurements atmosphere collected in United States, Canada, Russia, Norway, Finland, Greenland create synthesis science that leads an understanding why not just how evolving. premise there limitations with modeling satellite observations can...
Humans have significantly altered the energy balance of Earth's climate system mainly not only by extracting and burning fossil fuels but also altering biosphere using halocarbons. The 3rd US National Climate Assessment pointed to a need for indicators global change based on long-term data that could be used support assessments this led development Indicators System (NCIS). Here we identify representative set key atmospheric changes in radiative forcing due greenhouse gases (GHGs), evaluate...
Abstract Linkages between atmospheric, ecological, and biogeochemical variables in the changing Arctic are analyzed using long-term measurements near Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska. Two key date when snow disappears spring, as determined primarily by atmospheric dynamics, precipitation, air temperature, winter accumulation, cloud cover, of onset snowpack autumn that is additionally influenced ocean temperature sea ice extent. In 2015 2016 melted early at owing mainly to anomalous warmth...
Abstract Climate observations are needed to address a large range of important societal issues including sea level rise, droughts, floods, extreme heat events, food security, and freshwater availability in the coming decades. Past, targeted investments specific climate questions have resulted tremendous improvements human health, infrastructure. However, current observing system was not planned comprehensive, focused manner required adequately full needs. A potential approach planning future...
Abstract Early and late extremes in the timing of snowmelt have recently been observed Pacific Arctic. Subseasonal‐to‐seasonal forecasts this are important for industry, environmental management, Arctic communities. In northern Alaska, is influenced by advection marine air from north Aleutian Low, modulated high pressure centered Beaufort Sea. A new climate index that integrates their interaction could advance melt predictions. We define based on 850‐hPa geopotential height at four fixed...
Abstract Short-term international field study is an attractive alternative for many students to traditional, longer-term abroad programs. We present a discussion of critical planning, administrative, and curricular elements related the development implementation such courses. In doing so, we share number checklists planning tools that other instructors may find helpful in context developing their own studies addition, provide representative examples experiences from two short-term courses...
Abstract The global ocean observing system for climate, which comprises the in situ component of U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System, has now achieved about 61% its initial design goal. Although this system, implemented cooperatively by over 70 countries worldwide, serves multiple applications, it is designed primarily to address climate requirements defined international Global Climate System. contribution described here, as an interdependent set observational subsystems that constitute...
