Description
Summary:The aim of the workshop was to: Improve contacts between the different, and diverse, disciplines: sea ice, atmosphere, ocean and the modelling and logistics working together in DAMOCLES, making the groups aware of the research topics, the questions asked and the approaches used in other fields. To form a dialogue between modellers and field going researchers – what do the models show and what can be observed, what do the observations tell and how can it be explained –. Establish cooperation between modellers and field workers in the diverse fields that reaches beyond the quoting of a model result, or an observation, as support for a work done largely within one of the fields. Topics for discussion were proposed and within these topics it was decided to focus on uncertainties and questions, if A happens (or is observed), can we then expect B to follow? Below the initial suggested topics are listed SEA ICE 1) The Siberian shelves have been called ice factories – where is most of the exported ice produced, in the deep basin or on the shelves? What is the magnitude of the annual melting –
