This workshop reaches out to observational, modelling, remote sensing, and assimilation communities to gain a holistic overview of the role of fresh water and the future evolution at high latitudes. Organizers welcome both regional and global ocean communities.

One focus will be the linkage of the regional hydrological cycle, from source to export, and the dynamical impact on global ocean circulation and climate. The discussion aims at making recommendations for critical model improvements to better represent the distribution of salinity and ice-ocean processes while assessing available, necessary, and desirable observations. The exact topics for the breakout discussion groups will be decided after feedback from registered participants.

Registration deadline: 1 September 2022
