      Forecasts of sea ice evolution in the Arctic region for several months ahead can be of considerable socioeconomic value for a diverse range of marine sectors and for local community supply logistics. However, subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) forecasts represent a significant technical challenge, and translating user needs into scientifically manageable procedures and robust user confidence requires ...
    • Exploring the user-producer interface of weather and sea ice information for Arctic marine mobilities: a dedicated session at the Ninth International Congress on Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS) 

      Lamers, Machiel; Knol, Maaike; Ljubicic, Gita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-29)
      At the International Congress on Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS IX) in Umeå, 8–12 June 2017, we organised a session to raise awareness and to involve other Arctic social scientists in the PPP-SERA agenda. The session focused on the user-producer interface of weather and sea ice information for Arctic marine sectors. In particular, we intended to discuss the complexities of actors, ...
    • Making the Arctic predictable: The changing information infrastructure of Arctic weather and sea ice services 

      Knol, Maaike; Arbo, Peter; Duske, Paula; Gerland, Sebastian; Lamers, Machiel; Pavlova, Olga; Sivle, Anders Doksæter; Tronstad, Stein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-19)
      This paper explores the changing infrastructure around weather and sea ice information provisioning for Arctic marine areas. Traditionally, the most important providers of operational information on sea ice and weather conditions are the national sea ice and meteorological services. More recently, the community of Arctic information providers has become more heterogeneous with the establishment of ...
    • Second Polar Prediction Project (PPP) Societal and Economic Research and Applications (SERA) Meeting focused on end user use of weather and climate information

      A primary goal of the World Meteorological Organization’s Polar Prediction Project (PPP) is to advance numerical modeling, data acquisition and assimilation, ensemble forecast methods, verification, and the development of prediction products for the polar regions. However, as aptly expressed more than two decades ago, “it should be understood that forecasts have no intrinsic value. They acquire value ...
