  8. Implementation of proposed APRCC-RAII (EAACC):developing outlooks and pan-Arctic bulletin Implementation of the APRCC-RAII is planned similar to existing NEARCC as a consortium of 4 Roshydromet institutions: • Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI), St.Petersburg, coordinator • Main Geophysical observatory (MGO),St.Petersburg • Russian Institute for Hydrometeorological information – World Data Center (RIHMI-WDC), Obninsk • Hydrometcenter of Russia (RHMC)

  9. Existing infrastructure on Polar climate services: AARI • Monitoring of the Arctic and Antarctic marine environment, short, medium and long-term forecasting, operational support at sea and are the prime AARI responsibilities since 1920s • Several operational and scientific departments are supporting RCC functions • AARI is supporting the WMO “Global Digital Sea Ice Data Bank” project integrating together with NSIDC the national ice services sea ice climatology based on ice charting

  10. Existing infrastructure on Polar climate services: MGO • MGO is coordinating and supporting Roshydromet Climate Center, including support for the national segment of GFCS http://cc.voeikovmgo.ru

  11. Existing infrastructure on Polar climate services: RIHMI-WDC, Obninsk • Hosting two World Data Centers within WDS of ICSU • Support by non-operational hydrometeo data products for Arctic seas and territories north to 60N of Eurasia • Integration and data access platform based on ESIMO technology

  12. Existing infrastructure on Polar climate services: HMC Moscow • Research activities focused on Arctic region are underway at Hydrometcenter of Russia within scientific project supported by Russian Science Foundation. • Laboratory of Forecasting of Hydrometeorological Processes in Arctic region was created at Hydrometcenter of Russia in 2014.

  13. Proposed (possible) content for pan-Arctic bulletin 1 Meteorological conditions in the Northern Polar Region1.1 Large-scale atmospheric processes 1.2 Meteorological parameters2. Ice conditions and processes in the Arctic Ocean3 Hydrological and hydrochemical conditions in the Arctic Ocean3.1 Thermohalineconditions3.2 Sea level 3.3 Wind waves Review of hydrological and meteorological processes in the Arctic Ocean

  14. 1 Meteorological conditions in the Northern Polar Region Anomalies of SLP for…. Anomalies of surface Ta for…. Mean geopotencial at 500 gPa for…. Precipitation by regions for…. Anomalies of surface Ta at stations for…. + TEXT for….

  15. 2 Ice conditions and processes in the Arctic Ocean Ice drift for…. Ice conditions for…. Anomalies of …. Ice extent by sectors for…. Other parameters TBD…. + TEXT for….

  16. 3 Oceanographic conditions in the Arctic Ocean T,S profiles at …. for… In-situ data used for… waves and wind at …. for… Sea level variations at …. for… + TEXT for….

  18. Pan-Arctic bulletin content • Content of the bulletin will be based on the input from 3 nodes • Periodicity – monthly, languages – EN/RU + FR/NO ? • Meteorological section is the most developed one (NMS) • Sea ice section most likely will contain ice conditions part (based on blended ice charting material), ice drift, ice extent and area anomalies graph, other sea ice parameters critical for success of the bulletin should be defined (Ice Services, ETSI/IICWG) • Oceanographic section is welcome though content TBD • Input from the GCW Cryonet TBD
