Observing, Modeling, and Understanding the Circulation of the Arctic Ocean and Sub-Arctic Seas Workshop

The US CLIVAR Observing, Modeling, and Understanding the Circulation of the Arctic Ocean and Sub-Arctic Seas Workshop will explore changes in Arctic Ocean and sub-Arctic seas circulation related to global change and the observing system required to track those changes in the future. The observing system design effort will be cognizant of the practical, geopolitical, and operational constraints of Arctic Ocean observing, but will incorporate modern objective experimental design and data assimilation using numerical models as fundamental guiding principles. Its work will contribute to evaluations of model simulations and observational analyses to assess opportunities for model improvements.

NSF Invests in West Point’s Arctic Space Research

Col. Diana Loucks has a passion for understanding space weather and its impact on military effectiveness. Her work investigates how the aurora affects GPS signals in the Arctic. As Loucks explains, “Space weather’s effects on Global Positioning System (GPS) signals in the auroral oval have led to numerous advances in how we understand the behavior of the high-latitude ionosphere. As our understanding has grown, so has the depth of our questions about how these kilometer-scale structures develop, and the effects they have on ground and aerial users.”
