One of the objectives of the Monitoring Observing Modeling and Prediction (MOMP) collaboration team is to coordinate activities and communities of practice that bring together Arctic modeling, observing, monitoring, and prediction to advance Arctic research. Under this objective, one of the MOMP deliverables is to support the development of synthesis products, best-estimate datasets, and model intercomparison studies using cases from major Arctic field campaigns and long-term observational sites to better enable the use of observational data in model evaluation.
To facilitate this coordination and the use of Arctic field campaign data for model evaluation, this webinar featured presentations about two recent Arctic field campaigns - the Cold-Air Outbreaks in the Marine Boundary Layer Experiment () and the Arctic Radiation-Cloud-Aerosol-Surface Interaction EXperiment (ARCSIX). Florian Tornow (Columbia University), provided an overview and current results from the Model Intercomparison Project (). Sebastian Schmidt (University of Colorado), highlighted the data collected during ARCSIX, including regions that have not previously been systematically sampled by aircraft, and initial analyses.
