Prosjektdetaljer
Status: Fullført
Prosjektperiode: 2019–2023
Oppdragsgiver: Norges forskningsråd (295046)
Ansvarlig institusjon: Meteorologisk institutt
Primary objective
Use a nationally coordinated Earth system approach to understand, quantify and reduce uncertainty in projected northern latitude climate change and in particular Arctic warming.
Secondary objectives
Significantly advance the understanding of Earth system forcings, feedbacks, circulation and hydrological cycle in a warming Arctic and North Atlantic region through advanced data and model analysis.
Enhance the Norwegian Earth system modelling capability to address future scenarios of climate change through activating additional climate system components, improving the representation of key processes and increasing model resolution.
Quantify with improved modelling capability and systematic model experiments the likelihood of major or irreversible climate change in northern latitudes.
NILU’s task in the project is the use of re-analysis and NorESM data to analyze heat and moisture transport into the Arctic, as well as understanding the role of ARs.
