UpTempO Buoys for Understanding and Prediction

Abstract

This is a renewal proposal for SIZRS-UpTempO, a project designed to better understand the interactions between upper ocean warming and sea ice retreat and advance in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas of the Arctic Ocean. SIZRS refers to Seasonal Ice Zone Reconnaissance Surveys, a multidisciplinary effort to track and understand the changing seasonal sea ice zone (SIZ). Over the coming years, SIZRS will continue to take advantage of the U.S. Coast Guard Arctic Domain Awareness flights to make a suite of air, ice, and ocean observations across the SIZ at monthly intervals through the spring-summer-fall seasons.
