ASSW2021: Session ID:60 - Integrating Arctic observing systems – results from the H2020 INTAROS project

The INTAROS project is developing integrated observing systems in the Arctic, including improvement of data sharing and dissemination services (www.intaros.eu). INTAROS supports several systems providing data from ocean, atmosphere, cryosphere and terrestrial themes across the Arctic region. Ocean data are provided by bottom-mounted systems, ship surveys, Argo floats, ice platforms and Ferrybox systems. Terrestrial stations provide observations of meteorological, hydrological, and cryospheric variables, soil temperature and fluxes of climate gases. INTAROS also contributes to Community-Based Monitoring programmes, where data collected in local communities are provided and made available for users. A major challenge in Arctic data dissemination and data sharing is the heterogeneity and complexity in data collected in the difference scientific disciplines. INTAROS is therefore supporting work to build distributed and connected databases in agreement with the FAIR principles.

Conveners: Stein Sandven (Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center), Alexandra Touzeau (University of Bergen) and Roberta Pirazzini (Finnish Meteorological Institute)
