DAMOCLES

iAOOS Norway is especially related to DAMOCLES (Developing Arctic Modeling and Observing Capabilities for Long-term Environmental Studies), which is an integrated ice-atmosphere-ocean monitoring and forecasting system designed for observing, understanding and quantifying climate changes in the Arctic. DAMOCLES is specifically concerned with the potential for a significantly reduced sea ice cover, and the impacts this might have on the environment and on human activities, both regionally and globally.
