Key Earth System Processes to understand Arctic Climate Warming and Northern Latitude Hydrological Cycle Changes
2020-2023
RCN
Understanding, quantifying, and reducing the uncertainty in projected northern latitude climate change, particularly Arctic amplification, through a nationally coordinated Earth system approach.
ICOS Norway
Key Earth System Processes to understand Arctic Climate Warming and Northern Latitude Hydrological Cycle Changes
RCN & EU FP7 Infrastructure Programme
https://www.icos-cp.eu/observations/national-networks/norway
The ICOS Norway network consists of four Ocean stations, two Atmosphere stations and one Ecosystem station. ICOS Norway has a particularly strong ocean focus since it operates four out of the 21 permanent ocean stations and hosts the Ocean Thematic Centre OTC
INES
Overturning circulation and its implications for global carbon cycle in coupled models
2018 - 06/2022
RCN
The project Infrastructure for Norwegian Earth System Modeling (INES) supports the further development of NorESM and helps Norwegian scientists also gain access to a cutting-edge earth system model in the years to come. Technical support will be provided for the use of a more refined grid, the ability to respond to climate change up to 10 years in advance, the inclusion of new processes at high latitudes and the ability of long-term projection of sea level.
The Nansen Legacy (Arven Etter Nansen)
Subpolar North Atlantic Climate States
2018 - 20xy
RCN & other partners
https://arvenetternansen.com/about-us/
The Nansen Legacy is a novel and holistic Arctic research project that will provide integrated scientific knowledge on the rapidly changing marine climate and ecosystem. A new knowledge base is required to facilitate a sustainable management of the northern Barents Sea and adjacent Arctic Basin through the 21st century.
