Indicators of Processes and Feedbacks Contributing to Arctic Change and Their Linkages to Global Change III Posters
Submit an Abstract to this Session
Session ID#: 32645
Session Description:
Earth system models (ESMs) have made progress in representing Arctic climate change and its trends, however gaps remain in understanding and model representation of critical processes and feedbacks within the Arctic system. Reasons for that include a limited knowledge and challenges in representation of such processes and interactions in ESMs due to a combination of coarse resolution and inadequate parameterizations.
The IARPC Arctic Science Plan identifies some necessary steps, including closer coordination and integration of observations and modeling, for improvements to increase fidelity of Arctic system models, their capability to project future changes, and their use for decision making.
We solicit papers that advance understanding of the Arctic system through focused studies of physical processes and feedbacks contributing to Arctic amplification, their parameterization and evaluation within ESMs, along with Arctic - mid-latitude linkages, with an ultimate goal of reduced uncertainty and improved prediction of Arctic system variability and change.
