Sponsor/Partner Feedback, and Identification of Gaps/Needs
The International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) promotes and supports leading-edge multi-disciplinary research in order to foster a greater scientific understanding of the Arctic region and its role in the Earth system. IASC encourages and facilitates cooperation in all aspects of Arctic research but the rapidly changing Arctic cryosphere is a central theme of many of IASC´s research activities. Seeking to better understand and predict changes in the Arctic cryosphere in relation to the global climate system is a common interest of IASC and CliC.
This presentation will provide an overview of IASC´s ongoing and planned activities related to climate and the cryosphere, some of which already involve CliC. A number of IASC activities that would benefit from CliC´s participation will be presented for consideration by the CliC Scientific Steering Group.

Presented by Volker Rachold, International Arctic Science Committee, at the 9th CliC Scientific Steering Group meeting in Potsdam, Germany 2013.

(Media / 2012-Boundary-Layer-Workshop-Report)

The atmosphere-ocean boundary layer in which sea ice resides includes many complex processes that require a more realistic treatment in GCMs, particularly as models move toward full earth system descriptions. The primary purpose of the workshop was to define and discuss such coupled processes...
