Session 3A Advances in Sea Ice Science and Applications for Operational Ice Services: Part 2 & Emerging Technologies for Earth or Space Sciences to Address Unmet, Targeted Needs/Requirements in the Research or Operational Communities

Monday, 11 January 2021: 3:30 PM-4:30 PM

Description:

Advances in Sea Ice Science and Applications for Operational Ice Services: Part 2 :

Ice centers provide crucial regional and global information about the location, concentration, and thickness of sea ice and icebergs to scientific, government, military, and commercial shipping interests. Scientific advancements are critical in fulfilling this mission as the polar climate shifts, allowing for additional human activities in the Arctic and Antarctic.  Improved satellite capabilities allow for enhanced real-time information on the ice, coupled atmosphere-ocean-sea ice models allow for better forecasts of ice growth and dynamics, and advancements in software and algorithms allow for the automation of operational products. This session will highlight some of the ongoing research and advancements in sea-ice science and modeling that will help operational ice centers meet the challenges and opportunities of the next decade.  Session sponsored by the U.S. National Ice Center (USNIC).

Emerging Technologies for Earth or Space Sciences to Address Unmet, Targeted Needs/Requirements in the Research or Operational Communities:

New satellites, sensors, unmanned aerial and marine systems, artificial intelligence and communication technology have accelerated and expanded our ability to observe, research and fulfill unmet needs of Earth and space science. NOAA and partners have been using, partnering to bring new technologies to our research, development and service delivery. For example, NOAA is exploring how smaller and simpler technology can contribute to NOAA’s mission, and optimize existing systems and future projects that have already been approved.

NOAA has used emerging technologies to replace or build a new generation of cheaper, more efficient observation platforms, new sensors, data processing, and ground communication and data sharing. This session will enable the AMS community to share experiences, results, progress, and thoughts about emerging technologies for earth and space sciences to address unmet, targeted needs/requirements in the research or operational Communities.
