DAMOCLES provides
DAMOCLES provides a substantial step forward from the
present state-of -the-art:
Improving
monitoring capabilities of the Arctic Ocean ,
Sea-Ice and Atmosphere through innovative technological advances.
Increasing
the knowledge concerning dynamics and thermodynamics of Arctic Ocean
Sea-Ice cover and the understanding of its interaction with the Ocean
and the Atmosphere
in the northern hemisphere climate system.
Improving
the data transfer from instruments to users, in near real time, the use
of an operational databank and unprecedented data delivery and format
agreements between all partners.
Contributing
to the development and implementation of observing and forecasting
systems to make long-term systematic observations of marine and
atmospheric parameters of the Arctic Environment necessary for
management strategies in the context of Global Change.
Improving
significantly the ability to predict extreme climate events in the Arctic ,
such as the disappearance of the perennial ice-cover and its
consequences.
Improving
the knowledge of the adaptive capacity and vulnerability of human
activities in the case of extreme climate events, thus enhancing the
European Union’s preparedness in terms of environmental and societal
terms.
