The APPOSITE project
APPOSITE is a 3-year research project that aims to address fundamental
questions about the extent to which the climate and state of the
Arctic system is predictable on seasonal to inter-annual timescales,
and about the physical processes that govern this
predictability.
The scientific goals of APPOSITE are to:
1. quantify the predictability of the Arctic environment on monthly to
inter-annual timescales
2. determine the physical processes and
mechanisms that determine Arctic predictability
3. establish to what
extent, and through what mechanisms, the Arctic influences the
predictability of the wider climate system
4. provide recommendations
on required developments in operational prediction systems
