Arctic-RIMS: A Regional, Integrated Monitoring System for Pan-Arctic
Water Cycle Studies GOALS
– Characterize Variability in Land-Atmosphere Water System (from 1960-)
– Assess Response of Ocean– Identify Sources of Change– Develop Real-Time Detection System
for Pan-Arctic Water Cycle
Collaboration of UNH, CU, UW, JPL, SHI, AARI, Ohio St., UDel
Framework for the Enhanced ArcticRIMS Data and Model Integration System
“Tracking the Water”
Source data: Mark Serreze (CU), Mike Steele (UW), UNH, and government agencies from around the pan-Arctic
