6 01 Nov Temperature 5m depth

7 01 Nov Sea ice concentration

8 Daily sea ice extent from passive microwave data Blue: mean ice extent in September ( ) Red: ice extent in September

9 MyOcean Sea Ice and Wind Thematic Assembly Center TAC/index.html

10 Sea Ice ECV Objective: develop timeseries of sea ice essential variables from satellite data archives according to GCOS requirements Product name Sea ice concentration Sea ice thickness Sensors Areas Spatial grid Period Temporal resolution Passive microwave radiometer Radar altimeter Arctic and Antarctic L3: 25 x 25 km Arctic L3: 100x100 km Daily Monthly (Oct-April) Consortium includes 7 Arctic ROOS members

11 Sea ice concentration products The project will provide homogeneous ice concentration data sets for Arctic and Antarctic with quantified and validated error estimates based on validation data. The data sets will be produced by the best available algorithms, selected after intercomparison using the Round Robin data sets

12 CryoSat-2: first results of ice thickness retrieval Oct March 2011 Copyright ESA, 2012

13 Thickness of thin ice from satellite data Passive microwave data from SMOS Algorithm development by University of Bremen Animation of daily maps for October December cm Annual meeting November 2012 Arctic ROOS report EuroGOOS

14 In Situ platforms September 2012

15 Platforms providing data to In Situ TAC (Status for Arctic region before summer 2012)

16 Plans for 2013 Consolidation and further development of Arctic Marine Forecasting system Including more in situ data from partners who are not yet providing data (ships, ice buoys, etc.) Cooperation with EEA, EMODNET, regarding in situ data New satellite products for sea ice (CryoSat, SMOS, etc.) ESA CCI programme: prepare Phase 2 New member to sign MoU: UNIS Arctic ROOS website: data dissemination, data portals Annual meeting in first week of November 2013
