A Science Plan for Regional Arctic System Modeling, 2010: Extended Material

This page provides extended material for the 2010 Science Plan for Regional Arctic System Modeling. It is recommended that Adobe Acrobat Reader be used to view and print all PDFs listed on this page. The complete Arctic System Modeling report may be downloaded here:

• IARCTP10-0001.pdf

Annotated figures created especially for the report by Russell Mitchell, in consultation with report authors and contributors, are available as individual PDFs:

• Figure 2: What is the Arctic System?
• Figure 3: Evolution of regional Arctic models
• Figure 5: Two visions of an ASM
• Figure 6: ASM nesting capabilities
• Figure 7: Organization diagram
• Figure 12: Arctic carbon budget
• Figure 13: Terrestrial carbon pathways
• Figure 14: Marine carbon pathways
• Figure 18: Biosphere-climate feedbacks
• Figure 19: Permafrost thaw

The 1990-1999 system boundary mask used for the Arctic System diagram (Figure 2) is available in 32- and 64-bit netCDF format:

• Arctic_System_32bit.nc
• Arctic_System_64bit.nc

Agendas, presentations and publications from each of the three Arctic System Modeling workshops on which the ASM report is based are available here:

• Arctic System Modeling Workshop I (2007)
• Arctic System Modeling Workshop II (2008)
• Arctic System Modeling Workshop III (2009)
