SUMMARY:Arctic Observing Summit 2020
DESCRIPTION:The Arctic Observing Summit (AOS) is a biennial summit that aims to provide community-driven\, science-based guidance for the design\, implementation\, coordination\, and sustained long-term (decades) operation of an international network of Arctic observing systems. In practice\, this means gathering the Arctic observing community together to exchange ideas and develop ways to collaborate\, share resources\, and improve Arctic observing. \n\n\n\nAOS is held biennially in conjunction with Arctic Science Summit Week. Special thanks to everyone for their patience and persistence as Arctic Science Summit Week and AOS 2020 were re-organized to be 100% online. \n\n\n\n\nView AOS 2020 keynotes and session recordings\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPoster sessions\n\n\nVirtual poster sessions were held via Zoom. \n\n\n\n\nMarch 31 — See poster rooms\, titles\, presenters\n\n\n\nApril 1 — See poster rooms\, titles\, presenters\n\n\n\nWorking groups\n\n\nFive working groups were created based on the themes of AOS 2020. The AOS Executive Organizing Committee is working with experts from diverse sectors to develop these themes so that important advancements\, gaps\, and opportunities can be discussed at the Summit.  \n\n\n\n\nContact AOS Working Group Co-Chairs\n\n\n\nLearn more about AOS Co-Chairs and Executive Organizing Committee\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorking Group 1\n\nDesign\, Optimization and Implementation of the Observing System\n\n\n\n\nLeads: Alice Bradley\, Hajo Eicken and Roberta Pirazzini \n\n\n\nThe working group reviewed\, discussed and developed recommendations on: \n\n\n\n\nReview of relevant initiatives and tools aimed at cataloging and assessing various existing observing system components (in situ\, satellite\, and associated model and prediction systems). Relevant observatories include big national/international programs\, single-institution long-term monitoring projects\, community-based monitoring as well as individual/small team observing campaigns.\n\n\n\nDrawing on findings from the above to identify the value and role of the various observing activities in the context of an overarching observing system\, and to chart paths towards integration of such system components.\n\n\n\nIdentifying criteria for observing system optimization.\n\n\n\nContributing to the SAON Roadmap for Arctic Observing\, a document to help the muster resources and channel activities in support of an integrated Arctic observing system.\n\n\n\n\nParticipants: The working group seeks input from researchers\, community members\, operational observing organizations\, and engineers involved with observing systems at all scales\, and the private sector. \n\n\n\n\nWorking Group 1 session agenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorking Group 2\n\nObserving in Support of Adaptation and Mitigation\n\n\n\n\nLead: Maribeth Murray \n\n\n\nThis working group focused on environmental issues and the role of observing in developing economically viable options for the Arctic that lead to policy development and the implementation of actions in support of adaptation and mitigation. They reviewed\, discussed and developed recommendations on: \n\n\n\n\nKey aspects related to the successful use of observing technologies to improve or facilitate decision support\, risk management\, adaptation initiatives and mitigation strategies.\n\n\n\nObserving needs to be filled quickly or expanded to support scaling up of strategies for adaptation and mitigation during the next decade.\n\n\n\nLeveraging global initiatives to support adaptation and mitigation in the Arctic.\n\n\n\n\nParticipants: This working group encourages input from community groups\, researchers\, operational agencies and entities charged with the development and implementation of adaptation\, management and mitigation strategies\, the private sector\, policy makers and Arctic Council working groups among others. \n\n\n\n\nWorking Group 2 session agenda\n\n\n\nWG2 Synthesis Working Document- March 31 draft\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorking Group 3\n\nObserving in Support of Indigenous Food Security and Related Needs\n\n\n\n\nLeads: Raychelle Daniel and Gunn-Britt Retter \n\n\n\nAddress approaches and priorities to increase the efficiency\, reach and impact of observations in support of Indigenous food security and related needs. \n\n\n\nParticipants: The working group seeks input from experts who will work towards the formulation of actionable recommendations and chart a path for observing activities that facilitate the implementation of proposals related to an increased understanding of Indigenous food security. \n\n\n\n\nWorking Group 3 session agenda\n\n\n\nPresentations from Burk\, Heeringa\, Behe\n\n\n\nBackground materials:\n\nAlaskan Inuit food security conceptual framework\n\n\n\nVisuals for breakout session\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWG3 Synthesis Working Document- March 30 draft\n\n\n\nWorking Group 3’s final summary: key themes to food security\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorking Group 4\n\nData Interoperability and Federated Search\n\n\n\n\nLead: Peter Pulsifer \n\n\n\nVideo: Introduction to WG4 \n\n\n\nDraw on synergies with SAON Arctic Data Committee and Polar Data Forum to ensure that overarching observing framework emphasizes data integrity spanning collection and management over time to different data users\, including science\, community management activities\, policy development\, and decision-making at all scales. \n\n\n\n\nMessage from the organizers\n\n\n\nIntro to the AOS WG4\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWorking Group 5\n\nArctic Observations in the context of Global Observing Initiatives\n\n\n\n\nLeads: Thorsteinn Gunnarsson\, Jan Rene Larsen and Peter Schlosser \n\n\n\nThe Working Group discussed and created an overview of the relevance of Arctic observing for global actions. They also discussed and formulated recommendations on the basis of these questions: \n\n\n\n\nWhich existing and upcoming Arctic observing initiatives have global relevance and importance?\n\n\n\nHow to bring Arctic observing to the global action level?\n\n\n\nWho is the target of this: Arctic Council (and their member countries)\, European Commission\, UN?\n\n\n\nHow to connect arctic observing with\, for instance\, the Paris agreement. Are there any model countries?\n\n\n\nHow to involve non-Arctic countries. What are their motivations for engagement?\n\n\n\nWhat are the obstacles? And what could or should be done to remove or resolve these?\n\n\n\n\nParticipants: Representatives from global and regional organizations\, including Arctic Council Working Groups\, European Commission\, GEO\, Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS) and WMO. Representatives from MOSAIC and T-MOSAIC. \n\n\n\n\nWorking Group 5 session agenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Arctic Observing Summit series\n\nBefore the Summit\n\n\nAOS organizers develop the Summit theme and sub-themes. The theme for AOS 2020 was “Observing for Action.” Working groups are built around sub-themes to start organizing community input and planning for the Summit. A call for white papers and short statements is the first opportunity for the broader observational community to provide input into the organization in a year’s AOS. In addition to white papers and short statements\, the Roadmap for Arctic Observing and Data Systems (ROADS) provides an important framework for work at the summit. Learn about ROADS background. \n\n\nDuring the Summit\n\n\nThe AOS fosters communication and collaboration between academia\, agencies\, Indigenous Peoples\, non-governmental organizations\, the private sector\, and others involved or interested in long-term observing activities. A key goal for Arctic observing is to achieve equity and representation for Indigenous Peoples in arctic research. The great value of the AOS is as a forum that brings these diverse interests together and allows for exchange of ideas. The AOS sessions include plenary presentations\, breakout sessions\, and poster presentations. \n\n\nAfter the Summit\n\n\nFollowing the summit\, AOS organizers distill discussions notes\, white papers\, short statements\, and participant feedback into a statement for the Arctic Science Ministerial. Outcomes from the summit also help the efforts of the Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks to coordinate Arctic observing. Building on the white papers submitted to the summit\, there was an opportunity to submit full papers for publication – after peer review – in a special issue of the journal Arctic in late 2020. \n\n\nThanks to our sponsors\n\n\n\nAkureyri Municipality\n\n\n\nArctic Institute of North America\n\n\n\nIcelandic Centre for Research\n\n\n\nIceland Ministry for Education\, Science and Culture\n\n\n\nIceland Ministry for Environment and Natural Resources\n\n\n\nIceland Ministry for Foreign Affairs\n\n\n\nInternational Arctic Research Center\n\n\n\nNational Science Foundation\n\n\n\nNorlandair\n\n\n\nPew Charitable Trusts\n\n\n\nUnited States Embassy in Iceland\n\n\n\nUniversity of Akureyri\n\n\n\nUniversity of Calgary
