Arctic radiation and turbulence interaction study.

Objective



The warning of the lower atmosphere due to indstrial activities is predicted by Global Circulation Models (GCM) to be most enhanced in the Artic regions. The energy fluxes in the atmosphere and the radiative properties of clouds are of vital importance in an atmosphere of rising temperatures and especially in the Arctic are not yet represented by GCMs adequately see results of the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project AMIP: WMO/TD 1992.
The ARTIST programme aims to obtain an improved understanding of the radiative and thermodynamic interaction of Arctic clouds and sea-ice.
The ARTIST programme will thoroughly study the energy fluxes in the atmosphere and at the surface of the polar ocean as well as cloud physical processes by field measrements atpospheric modelling and satellite remote sensing.
An overall ARTIST objective is to derive optimised physical parameterisations for improved models of the Arctic Climate System.
The programme ARTIST thus covers the Environment and Climate Workprogramme "Basic processes in the climate system" (Theme 1. Area 1.1. Topic 1.1.1. research tasks 2.3. and 4: and Area 1.2. Topic 1.2.1.2. research task 2.)
Objective 1: ARTIST will assess the effects of clouds and of Arctic Haze on the radiative fluxes at the surface and in the atmospheric column for various states of the ocean surface.
Objective 2: ARTIST studies the dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layer and especially the air-sea exchange of heat, momentum and vapour in Arctic regions by field experiments and process modelling.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
