11 Related and Follow-up projects: Satellite Remote Sensing of Atmosphere-Surface Systems and Ground Truth Measurements (RSAS, NFR Norklima): Collect data to construct bio-optical, snow, ice and aerosol optical models; Use these to develop better algorithms for satellite remote sensing of properties of aerosols, ice and snow surfaces, and coastal and fresh water. PIs: Prof. J.J. Stamnes (U Bergen) and Academician D. Lu (Inst. Atm. Phys. CAS). Partners: U Bergen, Stevens Inst. Tech., Nor. Inst. Water Res. (NIVA), Norw. Polar Inst., Tianjin U, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Inst. Atm. Phys.), Inst. Tibetan Plateau Research, Yantai Inst. Coastal Zone Res. Solar Transmittance in the Arctic as a Seasonally Ice Covered Sea (STASIS, NFR FRINATEK): Characterize the seasonal evolution of solar transmittance of the thinner seasonal ice now dominating the Arctic; Use this to quantify the energy available to primary productivity and heating in the Arctic surface waters. Develop and deploy inexpensive autonomous radiation monitoring buoys. Validate and improve models and reanalysis data. PI: S.R. Hudson, NPI. Partners: Norw. Polar Inst., U Bergen, U Manitoba, Dalian U, AWI, CRREL, Stevens Inst. Tech.

12 Conclusions and Outlook Collaboration between Norwegian and Chinese research institutes on sea ice and snow physics established Exchange of early career scientists, outreach, education Follow-up projects with international participation, use of fieldwork opportunties and infrastructures More collaborative research activity thinkable based on established contacts, knowledge on each other s research directions and infrastructures and monitoring programmes

13 Acknowledgements Many scientists, engineers, students, technicians, external project partners, and adventurers contribute to the sea ice and snow scientific work of the Norwegian Polar Institute. We thank crews of the ships RV Lance and KV Svalbard, helicopters from Airlift, research bases and many helpers in the field for their support. We are grateful for funding and support from: In the first place the Research Council of Norway for funding AMORA, but also the EU, Norwegian Space Centre, European Space Agency, ICE Centre of the NPI, Fram Centre, Norwegian Ministries of Environment and Foreign Affairs, CliC/WCRP (World Climate Research Programme), and home institutions of collaborators.
