III. Lessons from 2007: Gaps and Needs for Understanding Arctic Change8:30 a.m. Welcome, review of Wednesday discussions, and today's goal

Martin Miles, ESARC Jean-Claude Gascard, Université Pierre et Marie Curie

9:00 a.m. Presentations and Discussion focused on:·        What lessons can be learned from 2007 to guide future science activities?·        What is needed in additional capacity and plans for observing the 2008 season (and beyond) to improve our understanding, and response strategies to arctic-system change? Specific needs relating back to the AON and Lagrangian workhops?

10:00 BREAK

10:30 a.m. Conclusions, recommendations, and next steps:·        Given the unexpected changes witnessed in 2007, what are the priorities for observing, understanding, and responding to change activities? ·        How should these priorities be addressed? What are the next steps? Discussion of workshop products (synthesis papers and other products), next steps, and writing assignments

2. Presentations and Discussion on WGs

1) Through modeling and data analysis activities – including retrospective

analyses of the long-term observational record – how well do we

understand 2007? What are the gaps in observing and understanding sea-

ice loss and related changes?

2) What do modeling and data analysis tell us about overall system

behavior that is relevant for predicting sea ice – on seasonal to decadal

time scales – and related arctic changes? How does the “tipping point”

concept factor in?

3) What are the science / policy / human implications of the unexpected,

faster-than-forecast changes? What does this mean for responding to

change?
