Researchers interested in the ARTofMELT 2023 expedition with the icebreaker Oden have the opportunity to participate in a digital workshop 9–10 November 2021. The expedition is centred on atmospheric rivers (AR’s), intrusions of warm air into the Arctic, and their role for the onset of summer sea-ice melt.

The icebreaker Oden will conduct an expedition in the North Atlantic part of the ice-covered Arctic Ocean during the period early/mid-May to mid/late June 2023. The planning is based on using specialized weather forecasts to predict the position for an upcoming AR with a couple of days notice, whereupon IB Oden can go there.

The workshop is aimed at:

Researchers who are interested in participating on board I / B Oden, or researchers connected to projects on board
Research and logistics financiers
Other stakeholders

All participating projects must be able to adapt to the expedition's basic plan.

The purpose of the workshop is to:

Identify potential contributions and collaborative efforts within the ARTofMELT concept (for a more detailed description, see pdf below). Additionally we want to clarify logistical limitations and already now identify, if possible, logistical challenges and also discuss funding options.
