Scientific Focus
Relevant Science Question(s):
Is the arctic system moving to a new state?
To what extent is the arctic system predictable (i.e., what are the potential accuracies and/or uncertainties in predictions of relevant arctic variables over different timescales)?
What are the most consequential links between the arctic and the earth systems?
What is the direction and relative importance of system feedbacks?
