CliSAP Working Group Arctic Variability

Sprecher/Kontakt Lars Kaleschke

Ziele

Die CliSAP-Arbeitsgruppe "Arktische Variabilität" (AV) versteht sich als Basis für die instituts- und projektübergreifende Kommunikation zu dem Themenkomplex Klimawandel in der Arktis. Um die Kommunikation in Gang zu bringen, werden Arbeitstreffen zu bestimmten Themen in einem 4-8 wöchigen Rhythmus organisiert. Diese für alle Interessierten offenen Treffen sollen durch einen etwa 15-minütigen Impulsvortrag eingeleitet werden. In der darauf folgenden etwa 45-minütigen Diskussion sollen folgende Fragen beantwortet werden: Wer arbeitet an diesem Thema? Wie ist der aktuelle Stand des Wissens? Was sind die brennenden offenen Fragen?

Themen

  • Wasser- und Energiebudget der Arktis (hydrologischer Kreislauf, Eisvolumen und -transport, Albedo)
  • Interne Variabilität
  • Response auf Variationen des externen Forcings (CO2, solare Einstrahlung, Vulkane)
  • Biogeochemie der Arktis
  • Schmelzen von Grönland
  • Vermischungsprozesse auf dem Schelf
  • Austausch Schelf-Ozean
  • Numerik (Advektion, Meereismodellierung)
  • Parametrisierungen für heterogene Grenzflächen
  • Nicht hinreichend verstandene Prozesse (Meereis, Wolken)
  • Permafrost/Gashydratdissoziation

Permafrost April/Mai 2009 (Lars Kutzbach)

Interne Variabilität 10. März 2009 (Johann Jungclaus, Dirk Notz)

  • Multidekadische Variabilität
  • Die Erwärmung in den 1930ern
