I co-organized a session at AGU Fall Meeting 2024, C12B - Multiscale Observation, Modeling, and Prediction of Sea Ice Processes I Oral and C12B - Multiscale Observation, Modeling, and Prediction of Sea Ice Processes II Poster.
Abstract: Sea ice is the defining feature of polar oceans and a critical component of the global climate system, involving a wide range of spatiotemporal scales. The spatial scale ranges from millimeters to synoptic scales, while the temporal scale can range from a few seconds to years. In part due to the multiscale nature of many sea ice processes, representing sea ice processes faces limitations in observing, understanding, and the means for mathematical representation. This session aims to bring observers, mathematicians, modelers, and practitioners working on advancing our understanding of sea ice processes at all spatial and temporal scales together to share their recent findings and challenges while fostering potential collaborations between the communities. Modeling, observational, and theoretical approaches exploring thermodynamic and dynamic processes of the sea ice are welcome and we particularly encourage presenters to address scaling issues and interdisciplinary approaches.
