We invite submissions to the second annual AGU 2016 Fall Meeting session on sea ice variability due to coupled processes.
C004: Advances in understanding sea ice variability and change in the coupled earth system
The marine cryosphere is a complex system that has experienced some of the most extreme environmental changes on Earth, such as declining sea ice extent, warming surface ocean and air temperatures and ecosystem shifts. These influence the global surface energy and moisture budgets, atmospheric and oceanic circulation, and feedbacks. To predict future changes in sea ice it is necessary to understand the complex and coupled interactions between ice, ocean, atmosphere, and land. Improved representation of coupled processes and feedbacks is expected to advance predictive skill of polar weather and climate models, and linkages with lower latitudes. Conveners solicit papers on observational, theoretical and numerical investigations that advance a system level understanding of processes that affect sea ice extent and thickness in the Arctic and Southern Oceans by studying the interaction between ice and at least one other component of the polar system (ocean, ecosystems, atmosphere, land).
Abstract submission closes at 23:59 EDT on Wednesday 3rd August and abstract submission for our session can be found here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/Session12257
Conveners:
Amy Solomon, University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO, United States
Michael Steele, Applied Physics Laboratory University of Washington, Seattle, WA, United States
Daniel Lee Feltham, center for Polar Observation and Modelling at UCL, London, United Kingdom
