Download INTAROS * Integrated Arctic Observing System

INTAROS – Integrated Arctic
Observing System
A project funded by EC – Horizon 2020
Blue Growth BG-09-2016
Coordinator: Stein Sandven
Presented by: Lasse H. Pettersson
Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center, Norway
Total budget: 15.5 mEuro
49 partners from 20 countries
Start date: 01 December 2016. Duration: 5 years
INTAROS overall objective
Is to develop an
efficient integrated
Arctic Observation
System by
 extending,
 improving and
 unifying
existing and evolving
systems in the
different regions of
the Arctic
INTAROS objectives
 Establish a Pan-Arctic forum for collaboration across EU and
non-EU countries in order to build a sustainable observing
system (WP1)
 Exploit existing observing systems and databases (WP2)
 Fill gaps of the present in situ observing systems (WP3)
 Enhance community-based observing programmes (WP4)
 Develop and implement the iAOS platform for integration of
multidisciplinary data from distributed repositories (WP5))
 Conduct case studies for selected user groups and
stakeholders, e.g climate research, climate services, (WP6)
 Dissemination and education activities to promote results of
the project (WP7)
Ocean and sea ice
Observing systems using moored arrays, mobile platforms, tide gauge network,
on-ice measurements, ocean bottom-mounted sensors, and remote sensing.

Cryosphere and land
• In-situ cryospheric and
land observations from
past and new
campaigns and
research stations
• Use of satellite snow,
hydrological, and ice
mass change products
WP3: Enhancement of in situ observing
systems
INTAROS will work in
the following areas:
• Coastal Greenland
(task 1)
• North of Svalbard
(task 2)
• Fram Strait (task 3)
• The central Arctic
Ocean (task 4)
• Selected sites across
the Arctic land
areas (task 5)
Task 0
WP4: Community-based observing systems
Overall objective: Enhance community-based observing
for participatory research and capacity-building
WP5 : Data integration and management
Objectives
• To integrate multidisciplinary and distributed data
repositories into a scalable and resilient Pan-Arctic
observing system, iAOS
• To offer seamless access to observations and derived
parameters provide a set of tools for data analysis,
transformation and visualization of spatiotemporal datasets
