Specific objectives:
- To describe casual mechanisms which control the relative strength of two branches of AW inflow and amount of heat transported into the Arctic Ocean.
- To identify the role of air-sea interactions in the Nordic Seas region in modification of the AW properties on the way into the Arctic Ocean.
- To recognize the link of the AW variability in both branches with sea-ice conditions in Fram Strait and in the Barents Sea.
The overall objectives are to (1) Review the high-level requirements and develop the strategy for the Pan Arctic Observing system based on GEO Cold Region Initiative (CRI), SAON and other international initiatives, related to the Arctic and European Blue Growth strategy; (2) Plan and coordinate the INTAROS activities in agreement with AOS recommendations and stakeholder requirements, and (3) Strengthen European participation in Arctic Observing Networks.
Assess, exploit, and standardize the existing Arctic observing systems to enable established databases to deliver remote sensing and in situ data products to a multidisciplinary, integrated Arctic Observing System (iAOS).
The overall objective of WP3 is to improve critical gaps in the Arctic observations by integration of newly developed and mature technologies for multidisciplinary observations and to build additional capacity of pan-Arctic monitoring networks. We will make best use of existing reference sites and distributed observatories that have been selected as (1) providing the critical data for Arctic climate and ecosystems, yet still missing multidisciplinary dimension or technical advancement and (2) allowing to build on already available infrastructures to optimize the costs and data return. We will extend their temporal and geographic coverage and add new key geophysical and biogeochemical variables through implementing novel technology integrated with standard observations.
The overall objective of WP4 is to enhance community-based observing programs for participatory research and capacity building.
Integrate multidisciplinary and distributed data repositories into a scalable and resilient Pan-Arctic observing system, iAOS, which will offer seamless access to observations and derived parameters. IAOS will also provide a set of tools for data analysis, transformation and visualization. Develop new geo-statistical methods for interpolation of spatiotemporal datasets. Process new observations from WP2-4, and store generated datasets in an IAOS enabled repository.
Demonstrate significance of enhanced integration of data from Arctic observing systems covering a range of remote sensing and in-situ platforms in geographically different locations covered by iAOS.
The main objective is to disseminate project results to raise awareness of Arctic challenges and to inform and engage key user and stakeholder communities to improve their understanding of the Arctic environmental state and processes. The further aim is to build capacity in using the new products and services originating from the INTAROS project.
Provide top level management of the project to ensure aims of the project are efficiently and effectively met, on time and with the resources budgeted and that knowledge and innovation are properly managed. Provide effective reporting and communication within the project, between partners and stakeholders and between the consortium and the European Commission.
