Arctic Collaborative Environment (ACE)

Abstract

New Start - Contingent upon congressional appropriation and congressional notification - Arctic Collaborative Environment (ACE) is a web-based, open source military, civilian whole of government Arctic Decision Environment Support System. ACE leverages NASA, other government agencies’ investments, and experience in Arctic research to integrate disparate data, models, and products focused on Arctic sea ice flow and characteristics, permafrost melt, sea surface temperatures, state, and currents from U.S. agencies and partner nations. Program Outputs and Efficiencies: ACE assesses and transitions the Arctic Decision Environment Support System with integrated data from existing remote sensing, buoy, and in-situ data. ACE builds partner capacity through collaborative sharing, enabling military/civilian long-term environmental planning, forecasting, and management, near term cooperative actions, and understanding the current state of the Arctic Northwest Passage and the Northern Sea Route.
