PolarRES was selected as one of only four projects coordinated by orgs in Norway to join the #HorizonEU Coordinators Forum at the Research Council of Norway!❄️
Cédric Hananel (@arctik.eu) shared our communication approach, showcasing lessons learned and practices that support meaningful engagement.
Rasmus and @tabea-rettelbach.bsky.social are in Budapest this week at HungaroMet for the PISCO & @polarres.bsky.social hackathon! 🇭🇺
With 20 other students and instructors, they’re exploring projects that combine climate model outputs with in-situ and EO data to better understand our Polar regions.🌍❄️
Day2️⃣
After a full day of introductions and an afternoon buzzing with teamwork, we’re kicking off the day with updates from each group on their progress so far.
The four groups will keep up the momentum until Friday, when they’ll reveal their final results!

Air–sea–ice interactions in Isfjorden, Svalbard: An atmospheric perspective
🌊 In Isfjorden, Svalbard, air–sea heat exchange varies across space and time. Sea ice and local winds create hotspots, while nearby open ocean loses heat more uniformly.

Text: Large-Scale Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions Drive Phytoplankton Accumulation in the Northern Antarctic Peninsula
🌀Summer 2006: the northern Antarctic Peninsula, a highly productive ecosystem, saw record-high phytoplankton blooms – the largest in over two decades.
But why?

Impacts of the CICE sea ice model and ERA atmosphere on an Antarctic MetROMS ocean model, MetROMS-UHel-v1.0
💻Antarctic sea ice is changing, but models often miss key details.
The new MetROMS-UHel model improves sea ice and atmospheric data, with better summer sea ice area predictions — though ice near coasts is thinner and more deformed.

❗Svalbard, one of the fastest warming regions, saw record summer heat in 2024.
🌡️Even after accounting for warming trend, August temps rose far beyond the norm.
📈 PolarRES finds unprecedented weather patterns and warm seas drove it, raising questions about future persistence.
