Arctic Climate System Warm surface waters Cold Arctic waters Cold deep waters River runoff • Warming • ice/snow melting • Increase run-off • Wildcard - Greenland Ice Sheet • Deep water formation conveyour belt • Strong natural variablity 100 Gt/year = 0.3 mm/yr
Arctic air temperature 1900 - 2010 Arctic-wide annual average surface air temperature anomalies relative to the 1961-90 mean, based on land stations north of 60°N. Data are from the CRUTEM 3v dataset, available online at www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/ data/temperature/. Note this curve does not include marine observations.
Bergen Climate Model (BCM)Simulation of sea surface temperture 2000-2100
Predicted Arctic sea ice area in September during 21st century 30 years of satellite data Comparison of output from 18 different CMIP3 GCM’s. Reference sea ice extent is mean the sea ice extent from 1979-2007 (“Satellite Era”). Forcing is the SRES A1B emissions scenario “medium forcing” ie CO2 concentrations of 700 ppm by 2100 (from [Boe et al., 2009]).

Arctic ROOS Arctic Regional Ocean Observing System: An association of 16 member institutions from 9 European countries with the aim to develop Arctic components of Global Ocean Observing System • The background document was produced in 2005 by the EuroGOOS Arctic Task Team • Arctic ROOS is a contribution to the IPY project no. 379: "IPY Operational Oceanography for the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas" coordinated by Prof. Ola M. Johannessen, endorsed by IPY 2006. • Arctic ROOS was established in December 2007 at the foundation meeting in Luleå, hosted by EuroGOOS and SMHI • S. Sandven from Nansen Center in Norway was elected chair and hosts the secretariat of Arctic ROOS http://arctic-roos.org/
