This pillar will focus on the fundamental understanding of the processes, forcings and feedbacks in the climate system that set the magnitude, patterns and time-development of climate change and variability.
Themes are as follows:
- Climate-biosphere interactions, biogeochemistry, and the carbon cycle
- Atmosphere-ocean-land-ice processes in past, present and future climates
- Teleconnections and Arctic-midlatitude coupling
- Atmospheric transports of heat, moisture, and pollutants
- Short-lived climate forcers
- Planning and organizing major expeditions, such as the NE Greenland expedition
