  • Arctic Observation Integration Workshops
  • 17 – 20 March 2008
  • IBM Palisades
  • New York, USA

A series of three workshops was held to advance planning and implementation of an integrated Arctic Observation System that is responsive to the critical scientific issues of environmental arctic change. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the workshop series included three interrelated meetings: 1) an NSF Arctic Observing Network (AON) PI meeting, 2) a workshop on optimizing deployment of Lagrangian platforms for observations of the ocean-ice-atmosphere system, and 3) a workshop to improve observing and modeling activities for understanding recent arctic sea ice change and its impacts throughout the arctic system. Participants included representation from the U.S. and international arctic observational and modeling communities.
