The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) invites abstract submissions for the IUGG General Assembly. This meeting will take place 11-20 July 2023 in Berlin, Germany.

The following session invites abstracts:

SESSION M16: Atmosphere-Ocean-Sea Ice Interactions: Local Processes and Global Implications

Changes in the Arctic and Antarctic climate system are strongly related to atmosphere-ocean-ice (AOI) interactions and feedbacks between snow, ice, the ocean, and atmosphere, such as snow processes, polynya formation, sea-ice production, and deep-water formation. AIO interactions can be triggered by synoptic and mesoscale weather phenomena such as cold air outbreaks, katabatic winds, and polar lows. In the Arctic, for example, sea ice loss is associated with rapid regional warming which is often tightly linked to mid-latitude weather and climate. Furthermore, in the Antarctic, sea ice change may affect ice shelf behaviour and hence could affect sea level change. However, the representation of these physical, chemical, and biogeochemical processes and interactions at different spatial and temporal scales remains a major challenge for current weather and climate models. This symposium brings together researchers working in the areas of atmospheric and ocean boundary layers, sea ice, and snow-cover processes as well as on global change related to the marine Arctic and Antarctic. Further focus is on snow cover modeling, as well as snow ablation and accumulation on sea ice. In addition, the session focuses on processes and parametrizations related to physical and biogeochemical exchanges and transports, including the influence of sub-mesoscale ocean dynamics, where observational challenges can be addressed. Contributions dealing with theoretical and observational studies, including remote sensing, as well as studies using numerical models are welcome.
