Ice, Ocean and Atmosphere Interactions in the Arctic Marginal Ice Zone

Abstract

This DRI TECHNICAL PROGRAM (Emerging Dynamics Of The Marginal Ice Zone) brings together a high-level (global) scientific team in order to better understand the ocean, sea ice and atmosphere interaction within the marginal ice zone (MIZ) north of Alaska. The aim of this multi-disciplinary group is to deliver a step change in our understanding of the processes within the MIZ. This is being achieved through a comprehensive, and continuous observational program of the key physical parameters that influence the development of the MIZ. Our long-term goal is to determine the complex inter-linkages between atmosphere-ice-ocean processes so that, ultimately, parameterisations of MIZ processes can be developed for large-scale models.
