Atmosphere and Hydrosphere Research Group

The environment and ecosystems in the Arctic are particularly sensitive to changing climate and unanticipated responses are already manifesting. We strive to predict the effects of climate change on ocean and sea ice dynamics in the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas using ship observation and the-state-of-the-art instruments. We examine the effects of changing sea ice and current system on marine ecosystem. By means of meteorological data analysis and numerical modeling, we also study how the atmosphere interacts at the surface of the Earth with the ocean, sea ice and land surface.
