2 ONR Arctic Environmental Research Navy Arctic Gaps: Sensing, Predicting Environment ONR MAJOR THRUSTS: 1. Generation of new observing technologies and methods (platforms, sensors, communications) that will enable persistent observational capabilities in the Arctic 2. Improved basic physical understanding of the Arctic environment and the important coupled processes that drive evolution and predictability in the Arctic region 3. Development of fully-integrated Arctic System Models incorporating the ocean, sea ice, waves and atmosphere for improved prediction at longer lead times, including the use of satellite SAR data for assimilation into integrated models SAR Sea Ice Imagery Notional UUV in situ sampling system Advances in technology will be required to enable an interagency Arctic Observing Network that will support scientific exploration and be able to initialize predictive models of the environment
3 S&T and Arctic Naval Warfighting How does S&T enable potential Arctic naval operations? Ocean-Atmosphere-Sea Ice Prediction: Process science will create an observations driven, Arctic region model. CNMOC will operate this model to forecast in advance of surface fleet or aviation deployments. Ionospheric Prediction: Process science of the ionosphere will create a model of the lower side of the ionosphere which will assist effective use of HF OTHR for surveillance. New Acoustics: Changing ocean conditions have created a persistent duct which is permitting km ranges for acoustic propagation. Creates a potential opportunity for long range detections of naval platforms. Persistent Sensing: Technology/autonomy to allow UUV's and fixed sensors to operate and exfiltrate data over an annual cycle will enhance science. It will also enable Navy to understand how to develop a mobile, persistent surveillance system if necessary.

9 Sea State Physics Study ( ) Objectives: Develop a sea state climatology for the new Arctic Ocean (more open water) Improve wave forecasting in the presence of sea ice Improve theory of wave attenuation/scattering in the sea ice cover Apply wave ice interactions directly in integrated arctic system models Understand heat and mass fluxes in the air sea ice system R/V Sikuliaq, 28 Sept 28 Nov 10, 2015 R/V Sikuliaq
10 UNCLASSIFIED Canada Basin Acoustic Propagation Experiment (CANAPE) ( ) ONR POC: Dr. Robert Headrick, USCGC HEALY Acoustic propagation: Improves understanding of the impact of sea ice and oceanographic conditions on acoustic ( Hz) propagation and fluctuations. Ambient noise: Characterizes the depth dependence and temporal variability of the ambient noise field. Physical oceanography: Combines acoustic methods with ice/ocean modeling to improve acoustic predictions.

11 Stratified Ocean Dynamics in the Arctic (SODA) ( ) Field Programs SODA Objective: To better understand the response of the upper Arctic Ocean to changes in oceanic inflow and surface forcing over ice-free waters or areas of reduced sea ice cover. The program will include extended autonomous observations as well as intensive ship-based data collection during several cruises.
12 Objective Sea Ice Dynamics Experiment (SIDEx) ( ) 2019 Field Program Using a distributed array of unattended sensors and platforms, understand the fine scale behavior of different sea ice types under a variety of stress and strain conditions to enable the development of high-resolution numerical sea ice models that can accurately simulate and forecast the formation, deformation, and break-up of Arctic sea ice due to atmospheric, wave, and ocean forcing. SIDEx Observing Array Will combine in situ platforms and satellite remote sensing to track sea ice motion and forcing over several months
