Deliverable 2.1 Report on present observing capacities and gaps: ocean and sea ice observing system
Report
Summary
A major goal of WP2: “Exploitation of existing observing systems” is to analyze strengths, weaknesses, gaps in spatial/temporal coverage, and missing monitoring parameters of the existing observation networks and databases in relation to the requirements from different user groups. This report is prepared to assess the existing ocean and sea ice observing systems in the Arctic, primary those where the INTAROS partners have responsibilities, but also where the partners contribute to larger, international observing systems.
