Session description:
OS1.4
Changes in the Arctic Ocean and Sea Ice System: Observations, Models,
and Perspectives
The past decades of observations have shown sustained changes in the
Arctic Ocean and the Arctic sea ice cover. Since the beginning of
satellite observations in 1979, the Arctic sea ice extent has declined
throughout all seasons, with the largest reduction occurring in summer.
Furthermore, the Arctic sea ice cover is now thinner, weaker, and drifts
faster. The ocean shows an increase in the Arctic freshwater storage and
warmer inflows from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Coastal runoff from
Siberia and Greenland has also increased. As the global surface
temperature rises, the Arctic Ocean is speculated to become seasonally
ice-free in the 21st century, which prompts us to revisit perceptions of
the Arctic system as a whole. What could the Arctic look like in the
future? How are the present changes in the Arctic going to affect the
lower latitudes? What aspects of the changing Arctic should future
observations and modeling programs address?
The session invites observation- and modeling-based submissions on past,
present, and future states of the Arctic, on the mutual interaction
between ocean, atmosphere, and sea ice, and links to global processes.
The session promotes results from current Arctic programs and encourages
discussions on future plans for Arctic Ocean modeling and measurement
strategies.
