Summary The overall science goal of this project is to address some of the key requirements, including those published in the Navy Arctic Roadmap: 2014-2030 (TFCC 2014), and in the Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for the Arctic Region (Office of the President 2014), regarding the need for advanced modeling capabilities for operational forecasting and strategic climate predictions through 2030. The proposed research leverages ongoing developments and analyses of the state-of-the-art Regional Arctic System Model (RASM) through multi-institutional projects supported by the Department of Energy Regional and Global Climate Modeling (DOE/RGCM) and by the National Science Foundation Arctic System Science (NSF/ARCSS) programs. This project aims at applying the Regional Arctic System Model (RASM) at process resolving configurations to (i) advance understanding of physical processes and feedbacks involved in Arctic amplification of global climate change and (ii) understand and potentially reduce uncertainty in prediction of arctic climate change at synoptic (5-7 days) to seasonal and decadal scales.
