| Active Layer Thickness and Moisture Content of Arctic Tundra From SVAT Models and Assimilated 1.4 or 6.9 GHz Brightness |
England, A. |
NSF |
Enable near-daily satellite monitoring of thickness and water content of the active layer throughout the circumpolar Arctic. The PIs propose to test two hypotheses within the framework of Arctic-CHAMP. Abstract and Scrapbook/Website |

Collaborative Research: Integrated Analyses of the Arctic Freshwater Cycle and Its Influence on Global Climate |
Holland, M. |
NSF |
Explore the progressive integration of the impacts and processes of the arctic freshwater cycle on the local, pan-Arctic and global scales. This study will focus on analyses of the physical processes, as represented by global scale models, in the arctic water cycle. Abstract and Scrapbook/Website |

Collaborative Research: Ocean Pressure in the Arctic Derived from Satellite Gravity Observations and In Situ Pressure Measurements |
Kwok,
R. |
NSF |
Estimate the large-scale seasonal and longer time variations in the Arctic Ocean bottom pressure, sea level, and circulation using in-situ observations of deep- sea pressure, hydrographic and atmospheric data, and satellite gravity. Abstract and Scrapbook/Website | DMO |

Fresh Water Budget of the Arctic and High Latitude Mode of Atmospheric Variability |
Tremblay, B. |
NSF |
Seeks to quantify the contribution of surface ocean currents to the interannual variability in fresh water transport from the Arctic into the Greenland and Labrador seas. Abstract and Scrapbook/Website |

Interactions Among Observations of Laterally Advected Heat and Moisture, Cloud Properties, Surface Temperature, Surface Radiation Fluxes, and Net Precipitation in the Arctic |
Ackerman,
S. |
NSF |
Examine interactions and feedbacks among five fundamental components of the Arctic environment: horizontally transported heat and moisture, cloud properties, surface temperature, net precipitation, and surface radiation fluxes. Abstract and Scrapbook/Website |

| International Workshop: Arctic Observations Based on Ice-Tethered Platforms | Proshutinsky, A. |
NSF |
Address the "Arctic gap" in the ocean observing system by developing a new instrument concept of ice-tethered profilers. Abstract and Scrapbook/Website | DMO |
|
Long-term observations: Collaborative Research: A Hydrological Observing System for the Pan-Arctic Landmass (Arctic-RIMS) |
Bromwich,
D. |
NSF |
Collect meteorology and hydrology data from river systems that discharge into the Arctic Ocean. Abstract and Scrapbook/Website |
DMO |
|
| Long-Term Observations: An Arctic Environmental Observatory in Bering Strait |
Cooper, L. |
NSF |
Test the feasibility of a long term observatory in the Bering Strait region of Alaska. The key facility would be a pumping station located on Little Diomede Island in the center of the Strait. Abstract and Scrapbook/Website |

North Pole Station: A Distributed Long-Term Environmental Observatory |
Morison, J. |
NSF |
Establish a Long-Term Observatory at the North Pole by installing an oceanographic mooring, launching a drifting buoy, and conducting repeated oceanographic transects for temperature and salinity. Abstract and Scrapbook/Website |
