Presentation transcript:

Mantra: Communicate, facilitate, build linkages Four Focus Areas: #1: Sea Ice Prediction Network (P.I.s Bitz and Stroeve)  Facilitate communication and linkages among this project and other Action Teams  Identify other existing, relevant projects that could participate and augment activities (ala FWI “bolt-ons”) Action Team: Ice-Diminished Arctic Ocean

Overpeck et al, Eos 2005 Francis et al, 2009 AtmosphereOceanIcePermafrostSoilCarbonNitrogenVegetation Marine life Humans Vörösmarty et al, TBD

Focus Area #3: Arctic-Global Connections  Mid-latitude weather patterns  Ocean currents and composition  Marine food webs  Freshwater systems  Impacts on humans (economic, cultural)

Focus Area #4: Dedication to connection: “Post-doc” in science journalism  Facilitator to increase collaboration among Action Teams, existing programs, and PIs of related projects  Synthesizer, digester, integrator, distiller, translator  Public outreach – great communicator, educator  Liaison to SEARCH science officer, funding agencies, media

Extra Information

Towards a sea ice prediction network

Prediction Network Goals for Modeling (UW Lead)  To determine realistic expectations for predictability of Arctic sea-ice at regional and local scales. Convey these expectations to stakeholders  To create a community of modelers -- both statistical and physical approaches  To improve sea ice models for prediction  To optimize observations of the Arctic system to best inform sea ice prediction  To make sea ice forecasts that include estimates of uncertainty

Sea Ice Outlook – Regional (A. Tivy 2012)

Criteria and metrics for observing system design and optimization: -Prediction of summer sea ice extent -Coordinated research & industry flights

 Ensemble forecasts with PIOMAS coupled ice-ocean model  Difference between unconstrained & thickness- initialized model run (top): anomalously thick ice in Chukchi Sea  Difference between unconstrained (green), corrected (red) & observed (black) September ice extent Lindsay et al. (2012)

Additional slides

Prediction Network Modeling Activities Organize a action teams to coordinate and evaluate seasonal-to-interannual predictions  Design intercomparison projects of hindcast and other experiments to improve understanding of sea ice prediction and identify model deficiencies  Develop skill metrics tailored to evaluate sea ice predictions in collaboration with observationists  Design experiments that investigate how best to initialize models  Design experiments that can identify and evaluate types of observations that improve prediction

Prediction Network Modeling Activities Organize a action teams to coordinate and evaluate seasonal-to-interannual predictions  Review the Sea Ice Outlooks in previous years  Analyze available model output and observations to determine if the last five years in the Arctic are the new normal  Evaluate strengths and weaknesses of different prediction approaches  Explore how to combine methods to improve predictions
