1. Recommendations
for a sea ice monitoring program.
2. Recommendations
for a joint modelling-observational campaign/s.
Feb. 28th
Days
Goal:
1. To
understand the current state of the art in modelling and observations of the
Arctic sea ice mass budget and variability.
2. Determine
knowledge and data gaps, and outline resolution and accuracy of sea ice mass balance analysis required
by various communities.
