Description 2021 update: Please see record "The Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling: National Capability Science Programme April 2019 - March 2021"

During the course of this award, CPOM has pioneered methods for tracking key cryosphere parameters using satellite data - including measuring the extent, thickness and drift of sea ice, and the thickness, flow, mass and grounded extent of land ice - and the use of these observations to improve our understanding of present and future environmental change, through our state of the art numerical models.

We make these data and models freely available to the scientific community, and they are widely used within the UK and beyond (see below), with collaborations focusing on glaciologists, oceanographers and atmospheric scientists.

Notably:

- We produce and distribute near real time sea ice thickness measurements as a support to science.
- Our ice sheet data systems generate measurements of Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet elevation and velocity change. These support higher level products including DEMs, plus measurements of grounding line migration, iceberg calving, and ice sheet contribution to sea level rise. We also provide the world's first near real time glacier monitoring service.
- We play a leading role in national and international sea ice (CPOM-CICE) and land ice (BISICLES) model development. BISICLES simulations have been included in each of the major model intercomparison projects which inform IPCC assessments.
- We have leadership roles within the ESA CCI and C3S services, as well as providing science leadership for ESA's CryoSat-2 and Sentinel-3 missions, and advice on the CRISTAL, SKIM and STEREOID candidate missions.
- We coordinate community inter-comparisons of satellite retrieval algorithms.
- We established the UK Sea Ice Group through which national advances in sea ice research are shared.

Combining data and models has meanwhile allowed us to improve seasonal forecasts of sea ice and centennial projections of ice sheet evolution, and to explain key signals of climate change such as dynamical imbalance of the Pine Island Glacier, stability of the Larsen Ice Shelf, controls on Greenland glacier dynamics (land- and marine-terminating, variability in Arctic sea ice thickness, variability in Arctic and Southern Ocean water storage, and hydraulic connections between Antarctic subglacial lakes.

Some specific findings made during the course of this award are set out below.

- 2015 Research led by Danny Feltham successfully predicted the Arctic sea ice minimum extent for 2014 of just over 5 million square km using a method which analyses the size and coverage of 'melt ponds' on the surface of the sea ice.

- 2015 Rachel Tilling found that Arctic sea ice volume increased markedly in the summer of 2013 compared to the previous three years, as less of the ice melted due to lower air temperatures, suggesting that the ice is more sensitive to changes in summer melting than it is to winter cooling.

- Amber Leeson led research which found that predictions of Greenland ice loss and its impact on rising sea levels may have been greatly underestimated, by taking into account the future distribution of supraglacial lakes.

- Mal McMillan and team combined observations from eight satellite missions, including Sentinel-1A and CryoSat, with results from regional climate models, to show that over the last two decades, ice loss from the south-east region of Austfonna, Svalbard, has increased significantly.

- Research involving Tony Payne showed that Antarctic ice sheet collapse will have serious consequences for sea level rise over the next two hundred years, though not as much as some have suggested, by using an ice-sheet model to predict the consequences of unstable retreat of the ice.

- Steph Cornford led the first study using a high-resolution, large-scale computer model to estimate how much ice the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could lose over the next couple of centuries. The most extreme simulation showed that the WAIS as a whole would contribute some 80,000 cubic kilometres of lost ice to sea-level rise by 2100 and 200,000 cubic kilometres by 2200.

- Mal McMillan led research to create the most detailed picture of ice loss yet from Greenland, using data from CryoSat plus a regional climate model to map changes in Greenland ice sheet mass, finding that between 2011 and 2014 Greenland lost around one trillion tonnes of ice. This corresponds to a 0.75 mm contribution to global sea level rise each year, around twice the average of the preceding two decades.

- Hannes Konrad led work to establish an almost 25-year long record of elevation change of some of Antarctica's fastest flowing and receding glaciers, revealing differences in the timing of retreat between single glaciers and the pace by which the ice loss spreads to Antarctica's interior. These glaciers have been thinning in patterns spreading upwards from the ice edge.
- Research led by Rachel Tilling showed that in November 2016 there was set to be only 10,500 cubic kilometres of sea ice in the Arctic - the joint lowest of any November on record. Although sea ice volume did not hit a record low at the end of summer, early winter growth was 9% slower than usual. - CPOM scientists at Reading were involved in developing a new, more accurate forecast system to predict whether Arctic sea ice will fall to a record low. The new forecasting model based, on satellite measurements, will allow improved predictions to be made much earlier, taking into account more data, such as ice concentration, and focusing on key locations.

- Around 250 million measurements taken by CryoSat over the last six years were used to create a new digital elevation model (DEM). Led by PhD student Tom Slater, this represents the most detailed view yet of the continent's surface. The original DEM was updated in 2018 to provide an even more accurate representation. - Using mathematical modeling, researchers from CPOM Reading contributed to a study which found that thinning Arctic sea ice may be responsible for dark algal blooms and that the conditions that cause phytoplankton blooms have become more common. This has the potential to cause significant disruption in the Arctic food chain. - An international team of researchers, led by CPOM, collated measurements recorded by five different satellites to track changes in the speed of more than 30 glaciers since 1992. The findings represent the first detailed assessment of changing glacier flow in Western Palmer Land - the southwestern corner of the Antarctic Peninsula. - Anna Hogg led work to combine two Sentinel-1 radar images from 7 and 14 April 2017 to reveal the growing crack in Antarctica's Larsen-C ice shelf, which eventually calved to form the A-68 iceberg. - Rachel Tilling led work which produced a 7 year time series of Arctic sea ice, showing not only 2017 volume but also large year-on-year variations in the volume of sea ice which persists in the Arctic year round: between 2010 and 2012, volume declined by 31%, followed by an 89% increase in 2013 and then a 27% decrease from 2013-2016.

- 2018 Hannes Konrad led work showing that grounding line retreat has been extreme at eight of the Antarctic Ice Sheet's 65 biggest glaciers. The pace of deglaciation since the last ice age is roughly 25 metres per year, whereas the retreat of the grounding line at these glaciers is more than five times that rate.

- 2018 An update of the IMBIE project led by Andy Shepherd showed that ice losses from Antarctica have increased global sea levels by 7.6 mm since 1992, with two fifths of this rise (3.0 mm) coming in the last five years alone.

- 2018 A review published in Nature, co-authored by Andy Shepherd, showed how decades of satellite measurements are being used by CPOM and other scientists to reveal how and why Antarctica's glaciers, ice shelves, and sea ice are changing.

- 2018 work led by Adriano Lemos showed how ESA's Sentinel-1 mission has revealed exactly how fast Greenland's glaciers are flowing into the Arctic Ocean.

- 2018 work led by David Schroeder found that accounting for the loss of drifting snow from the ice surface whilst using sea ice thickness estimates available from CryoSat-2 improves the accuracy of sea ice model predictions.

-2019 Mal McMillan led a study of Sentinel-3's ability to monitor the Antarctic ice sheet, finding that this new radar altimeter is a useful addition to existing data sources including CryoSat-2.

- June 2019 An article published in Nature led by Andy Shepherd showed that Antarctica's ice sheet has thinned by up to 122 metres in places, with the most rapid changes occurring in West Antarctica where ocean melting has triggered glacier imbalance. This means that the affected glaciers are unstable as they are losing more mass through melting and iceberg calving than they are gaining through snowfall. They also found that the pattern of glacier thinning has not been static. Since 1992, the thinning has spread across 24% of West Antarctica and over the majority of its largest ice streams - the Pine Island and Thwaites Glaciers - which are now losing ice five times faster than they were at the start of the survey. They used over 800 million measurements of the Antarctic ice sheet height recorded by the ERS-1, ERS-2, Envisat, and CryoSat-2 satellite altimeter missions between 1992 and 2017 and simulations of snowfall over the same period produced by the RACMO regional climate model. Together, these measurements allow changes in the ice sheet height to be separated into those due to weather patterns, such as less snowfall, and those due to longer term changes in climate, such as increasing ocean temperatures that eat away ice. They found that fluctuations in snowfall tend to drive small changes in height over large areas for a few years at a time, but the most pronounced changes in ice thickness are signals of glacier imbalance that have persisted for decades.

- December 2019: An article published in Nature led by Andy Shepherd showed that Greenland is losing ice faster than in the 1990s and is tracking the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's high-end climate scenario. Greenland has lost 3.8 trillion tonnes of ice since 1992 - enough to push global sea levels up by 10.6 millimetres. The rate of ice loss has risen from 33 billion tonnes per year in the 1990s to 254 billion tonnes per year in the last decade - a seven-fold increase within three decades. The team also used regional climate models to show that half of the ice losses were due to surface melting as air temperatures have risen. The other half were due to increased glacier flow, triggered by rising ocean temperatures.

- October 2019 Work by CPOM researchers, including Tony Payne, Stephen Cornford and Tamsin Edwards, used a high-resolution ice-flow model to look at uncertainty in projections of future sea level rise. This demonstrated that extreme future outcomes of predicted sea level rises cannot be excluded.

- August 2020: An article published in Nature Climate Change led by CPOM's Dr Tom Slater showed that ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica whose melting rates are rapidly increasing have raised global sea level by 1.8cm since the 1990s, and are matching worst-case climate warming scenarios. This study also showed that if these rates continue the ice sheets are expected to raise sea levels by a further 17cm and expose an additional 16 million people to annual coastal flooding by the end of the century. The worst-case scenarios are those predicted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Since the ice sheets were first monitored by satellite in the 1990s, melting from Antarctica has pushed global sea levels up by 7.2mm, while Greenland has contributed 10.6mm. And the latest measurements show that the world's oceans are now rising by 4mm each year. This paper received widespread media attention (altmetrics score 1630) and was cited in an early day motion backed by 7 political parties, read in the House of Commons in support of the Climate & Ecological Emergency Bill.

- August 2020: CPOM researchers contributed to research published in Nature Climate Change that supports predictions that the Arctic could be free of sea ice by 2035 - 'Sea-ice-free Arctic during the Last Interglacial supports fast future loss'. Dr David Schroeder and Professor Danny Feltham developed and co-led the implementation of the melt pond scheme in the climate model.

- 2020: Alan Muir (CPOM Staff Scientist, UCL) worked as the lead expert science advisor on ice surfaces to the ESA's Sentinel-3 Mission Performance Centre to specify and improve the Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B ESA sea ice and land ice processing and official ESA products to ensure that the best quality of sea ice freeboard and land ice elevation is available.

- 2020 CPOM contribution to UKESM project: analysis of sea ice and UK CMIP models (HadGEM3-GC31-LL, HadGEM3-GC31-MM and UKESM1-0-LL) shows overestimation of Arctic sea ice thickness for the last 40 years. Sea ice budget calculation including forced ocean-ice simulations with CPOM sea ice settings highlights that although atmospheric forcing is crucial for the sea ice mass budget, the sea ice physics also plays an important role (Keen et al., 2020).

- 2020 CPOM contribution to ACSIS project: our analysis of the historical UKESM1 ensembles shows that the impact of the overestimation of Arctic sea ice thickness on exchange processes between Arctic and North Atlantic is surprisingly small. The simulated total Fram Strait fresh water transport remains rather constant during last 150 years. A weaker solid fresh water transport is balanced by stronger liquid fresh water transport (see Section 3.5 Atlantic-Arctic exchanges and sea ice of Robson et al., 2020).

- 2020 Land Ice Earth Observation: Led by Dr Tom Slater, CPOM completed development of algorithms to retrieve Greenland ice sheet runoff from CryoSat-2 SEC datasets. This represents a new technique to estimate runoff from space, and can be used to help understand freshwater flux from the Greenland.

- 2020 Sea Ice Earth Observation: Dr Isobel Lawrence (CPOM Research Fellow) has supported ESA's Sentinel-3 Mission Performance Centre by analysing differences between CryoSat-2 and Sentinel-3A/B sea ice freeboard results.

- 2020 Sea Ice Modelling: Dr David Schroeder (CPOM Senior Research Fellow) found that annual cycle of mean ice thickness in Central Arctic could be strongly improved by increasing winter ice growth in particular (different ice conductivity scheme and added process of sea ice loss due to drifting) (Schroeder et al., TC 2019). CPOM also contributed to studies of marginal ice zone (MIZ) processes: Simulations from a coupled sea ice-ocean mixed layer model using a prognostic floe size distribution are consistent, but poorly constrained by existing satellite observations of pan-Arctic MIZ extent. (Rolph, R. J. et al., TC 2020)

- 2020 Land Ice Modelling: We contributed models to the UKESM project and continued to work on CPOM Land Ice Modelling objectives. In an article for UKESM, CPOM researchers explored the connection between blocking over Greenland and enhanced surface melting of the ice sheet in UKESM1.ice N96 ORCA1 present-day run. The run, which forms part of the UKESM contribution to Ice Sheet Model Intercomparison Project for CMIP6 (ISMIP6) (Nowicki et al., 2016), starts from 1970 and finishes at the end of 2014. Atmospheric blocking occurs when near-stationary high-pressure systems divert westerly flow for a week or more. It can cause extreme regional weather such as heatwaves in summer and cold spells in winter. They found that anomalous atmospheric blocking in summer is linked to enhanced surface melt over Greenland in the UKESM1.ice present-day run. We have rejected the idea that clearer skies due to blocking are responsible for the enhanced melt. We found that GBI is most strongly correlated to albedo. It is likely that albedo is at its lowest when GBI is highest simply because there is more meltwater around, though this does not explain why the correlation is higher than the correlation between GBI and meltrate. Near surface air temperature is the dominant driver of meltrate and it appears that atmospheric blocking is bringing it on to the ice sheet. Blocking also modifies spatial patterns of cloud cover, rain and sensible heat flux that can contribute to the enhance melt.

- February 2021: A study published in The Cryosphere journal and led by CPOM's Dr Tom Slater showed that the rate at which ice is disappearing across the planet is speeding up. The findings also revealed that the Earth lost 28 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994 and 2017 - equivalent to a sheet of ice 100 metres thick covering the whole of the UK. The research is the first of its kind to carry out a survey of global ice loss using satellite data. Scientists led by CPOM found that the rate of ice loss from the Earth has increased markedly within the past three decades, from 0.8 trillion tonnes per year in the 1990s to 1.3 trillion tonnes per year by 2017. Ice melt across the globe raises sea levels, increases the risk of flooding to coastal communities, and threatens to wipe out natural habitats which wildlife depend on. This paper received widespread media attention (Altmetrics score 2402).
Exploitation Route As above, we make our satellite data records and numerical models freely available to the scientific community, and they are widely used within the UK and beyond. Our
engagement strategy is focussed in three areas; we maintain collaborations with glaciologists, oceanographers, and atmospheric scientists to make use of in situ measurements for verification of our satellite products, we work closely with space agencies to develop and improve satellite retrievals, sensors, and missions, and we coordinate and participate in a range of community activities on polar observations and modelling to ensure that our collective efforts address key scientific challenges (see also narrative impact section). This includes using our expertise to provide scientific leadership for current (CryoSat-2) and candidate (SKIM, CRISTAL, STEREOID) missions. CPOM also provide data to the Met Office to assimilate into their modelling.

Direct lobbying of ESA has lead to a schedule (September 2021) to implement dedicated cryosphere processing for Sentinel-3 missions (currently only ocean optimised products are produced). This will provide direct future benefits to all UK cryosphere scientists.

There are also implications for policy regarding climate change and sea level rise, and for education and training (see returns under engagement and policy sections).

Description 2021 update: Please see record "The Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling: National Capability Science Programme April 2019 - March 2021" CPOM provides scientific advice and support to UK governmental and public-sector bodies to benefit the national public good. In this capacity we have acted as expert witnesses to the UK Parliament Environment Audit Committee, the House of Lords Committee on the Arctic, and the House of Commons All Party Parliamentary Group on the Polar Regions, and we contribute towards Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology briefing notes. We have represented ESA at UNFCC Conferences of the Parties and have co-authored their 2010 and 2015 Earth Observation Science Strategies. We have acted as lead authors on all recent IPCC Assessments - including AR5, AR6, and the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C - and we sit on the steering committees of the WCRP's Grand Challenge on Sea-Level Rise and its Ice Sheet Model Inter-comparison for CMIP6. Through leadership of IMBIE, we coordinate the international community assessment of the ice sheet contribution to global sea level rise on behalf of ESA and NASA, adopted as a climate indicator by the European Environment Agency and the US Environment Protection Agency. We have formal roles as advisors to NERC, the UK Space Agency, ESA, and the European Commission (EC) on issues related to Earth Observation satellite technology and their applications - including CryoSat-2, Sentinel-3 and the CRISTAL, SKIM and STEREOID candidate missions. We also regularly partner with and advise the UK space sector, supporting economic growth in satellite technologies - a key strand of the UK industrial strategy. CPOM's work is also covered extensively by the media, including the BBC. Work on sea and land ice has been featured numerous times on the BBC website, and CPOM provided scientific input to the BBC programme Earth's Greatest Spectacles: Svalbard. In addition, Andy Shepherd's contribution to the ESA/Futurelearn course Monitoring Climate From Space allowed practitioners, students, and members of the public with an interest in the subject to access specialist material and the latest Earth Observation techniques and findings. This led to contributions from several CPOM researchers to a new Futurelearn course with ESA on how we observe and monitor the Greenland ice sheet. Other outreach activities include Anna Hogg's work on the Space to Earth View challenge, which is challenging schools to run, bike or swim the 717 km distance to satellites orbiting above the Earth, and a regular blog published on the CPOM research which aims to give an insight into what it's like being a young polar researcher. These are just a few examples of how we are communicating our science beyond academia and engaging with a wide audience. We are now working with UK STEM and ESERO to develop materials that can be integrated into the secondary science and geography curricula. Recent or ongoing impactful activities include: - Andy Shepherd appeared in the BBC documentary 'Climate Change: The Facts', narrated by Sir David Attenborough, first broadcast in April 2019 - Tony Payne co-chairs the international ISMIP6 initiative, which is formally recognised by the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and has succeeded, for the first time ever, in delivering process-based projections of sea level from the international ice-sheet modelling community for the IPCC's next assessment report: https://www.wcrp-climate.org/modelling-wgcm-mip-catalogue/cmip6-endorsed-mips-article/1049-modelling-cmip6-ismip In August 2020, Dr Tom Slater (CPOM Research Fellow) published the paper 'Ice-sheet losses track high-end sea-level rise projections' in Nature Climate Change, in collaboration with Anna Hogg (UoL) and Ruth Mottram (DMI). This paper received widespread media attention (current Altmetrics score of 1630) and was cited as a source for an early day motion backed by 7 political parties, read in the House of Commons in support of the Climate & Ecological Emergency Bill.

Title Antarctic Digital Elevation Model 
Description The DEM was created by CPOM and it is composed of approximately 250 million measurements taken by CryoSat between 2010 and 2016. It is now the most comprehensive picture of Antarctic ice elevation currently available and offers a wide range of applications - showing the surface of Antarctica in such detail means that it can be used for anything from planning fieldwork to modelling the ice sheet. It also allows scientists to distinguish between changes in topography and ice motion when working with other satellite measurements, such as those used to calculate the balance between how much the ice sheet is gaining by accumulating snow and how much it is losing through melting and creating icebergs. Users may freely use the DEM provided they give acknowledgement. The DEM was updated in 2018.

Title CPOM Sea Ice Data System 
Description The CPOM sea ice data system generates Arctic-wide measurements of sea ice thickness and volume from satellite radar altimetry - a core area of our competence. Using this system, we produce and distribute sea ice thickness measurements in near real time as a support to science and to operational services, and we also maintain and distribute an archive of historical data as a fundamental climate data record. The data service makes use of observations acquired by CryoSat-2, and the background system produces measurements from previous (ERS, Envisat) and subsequent (Sentinel-3) satellite missions. 
Type Of Material Database/Collection of data 
Year Produced 2015 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact Our sea ice data service is nationally unique and globally leading, with 454 downloads per month on average and 26,609 unique users (21% UK) since it was launched in 2015. Flagship partners include the UK Met Office and the US Naval Research Laboratory who have assimilated our measurements to improve their model predictions of summer sea ice extent. The measurements are of high value for maritime activities ( likely/potential users include shipping, tourism, navy, and search and rescue) as the thickness of sea ice governs the class of ship required to navigate. The data are also often referenced in media stories and receive wide public attention.

Title GPR and pRES datasets along the 2013-2014 iSTAR traverse 
Description During the 2013-2014 ground traverse on Pine Island Glacier, two radar datasets were acquired. - the Ground Penetrating Radar is a 100 MHz radar that allows to track snow layers down to a depth of several tens of meters. - the phase sensitive Radio Echo Sounder (pRES) is a radar working in the 2-18 GHz range. It measured the snow pack backscatter at high vertical resolution and will make possible comparison with satellite measurements of the snow pack. 
Type Of Material Database/Collection of data 
Provided To Others? No  
Impact The exploitation of these sets of data will be made possible when further data is acquired (ice core to be retrieved in 2014-2015 are necessary to obtain datation). Precise datation from ice cores will be extended between sites using the radar datasets and allow to retrieve a precise history of accumulation on Pine Island Glacier over the last ~ 100 years. We intend to collaborate with an American team that worked on a similar subject, in order to extend and complete their findings.

Title Sea Ice Extent Forecasting 
Description This repository contains Python code to generate probabilistic seasonal forecasts of regional and pan-Arctic September sea ice extent, in line with the Sea Ice Prediction Network's annual calls for submissions (Pan-Arctic and Alaskan seas). Each python script can be executed on the first day of June, July, August, or September each year, where it will subsequently download the relevant data and generate pan-Arctic and Alaska predictions of the following September sea ice extents for the current year. Furthermore, the retrospective forecast scripts can also be executed to generate forecasts over a range of past years (the user will be prompted in the terminal which years are to be forecast). The same scripts for forecasting Antarctic summer (February) sea ice (Pan-Antarctic, Ross and Weddell seas), are also available. The method is based on Complex Networks and Gaussian Process Regression, as outlined in the article by Gregory et al., 2020

Title Simulations with the sea ice model CICE documenting the impact of improved sea ice physics 
Description Sea ice thickness data (CryoSat-2) have been used to identify and correct shortcomings in simulating winter ice growth in the widely used sea ice model CICE. Here, we provide the data from CICE simulations documenting the impact of improved sea ice physics and the sensitivity to forcing and initial data. Adding a model of snow drift and using a different scheme for calculating the ice conductivity improve model results. Sensitivity studies demonstrate that atmospheric winter conditions have little impact on winter ice growth, and the fate of Arctic summer sea ice is largely controlled by atmospheric conditions during the melting season. A full description of the data processing and uncertainties is given by Schröder et al. (2018), 'New insight from CryoSat-2 sea ice thickness for sea ice modelling', in The Cryosphere. All simulations are listed in Tables 1 to 3 of this paper.

A key dimension of the opportunity is that time series of sufficient length, for multiple variables, are becoming available for the first time. The modelling component will involve core simulations with cutting-edge atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, chemistry and aerosol models using the latest parameterizations and unprecedented resolution, as well as bespoke experiments to address Objectives 3 and 4.

This is in contrast to PIOMAS which is a model reanalysis assimilating ice concentration: the PIOMAS volume estimates are not directly derived from observations.
Collaborator Contribution ACSIS aims to enhance the UK's capability to detect, attribute and predict changes in the North Atlantic Climate System, comprising: the North Atlantic Ocean, the atmosphere above it including its composition, and interactions with Arctic Sea Ice and the Greenland Ice Sheet. The observational component will bring together records from Earth-based (e.g. Cape Verde observatory, FAAM flights, RAPID, Argo, OSNAP) and space-based (e.g. Cryosat, MetOP) platforms with a focus on the sustained observations that are necessary to measure changes on multi-year timescales. A key dimension of the opportunity is that time series of sufficient length, for multiple variables, are becoming available for the first time. The modelling component will involve core simulations with cutting-edge atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, chemistry and aerosol models using the latest parameterizations and unprecedented resolution, as well as bespoke experiments to address Objectives 3 and 4. ACSIS will work closely with the NERC-Met Office UKESM programme on Earth System Modelling, and will contribute to and benefit from UK participation in international observing programmes such as UK-US RAPID, EU ATLANTOS and Global Atmospheric Watch, and modelling programmes such as CMIP6 and EU PRIMAVERA.1. To provide the UK science community with sustained observations, data syntheses, leading-edge numerical simulations and analysis tools to facilitate world-class research on changes in the NA climate system and their impacts.

PI Contribution We are the scientific lead and principal investigator (SL/PI) on this project. The project will produce, validate and deliver surface elevation change, ice velocity, grounding line and gravimetry mass balance data sets derived from satellite observations, to the scientific community. In addition to directing the overall science strategy and publication outputs from the project, we are the lead science team responsible for the surface elevation change EO data product, which the UCL MSSL team also contribute to. We are also responsible for coordinating Task 1 which includes defining the requirements baseline, the input EO data set availability and output product specification, and Task 5 where we work with a group of independent ice sheet modelers and climate experts to assess and report on the quality of the satellite products developed each year.
Collaborator Contribution DLR are the lead science team responsible for the grounding line product, ENVEO are the lead science team responsible for the ice velocity product and the technical university of Dresden are the lead science team responsible for the gravimetry mass balance project. BAS are responsible for coordinating the independent climate research group which performs the annual climate assessment on the usefulness of the products generated. this includes contributions from experts at the university of Utrecht, University of Exciter, University of Hamburg and TUDelft. S&T norway are responsible for all project management within the project
Impact We have delivered a requirements baseline document following an open consultation of the scientific community via a questionnaire advertised on the cryolist community mailing list, and a dataset access and product specification manual, all of which are available on the project website. Surface elevation change (SEC) data is now available via the CPOM UCL web portal. This provides a monthly time series of surface elevation change measured over 25 years of satellite altimetry and includes data from ERS-1/2, ENVISAT, CryoSat-2 and Sentinel-3. The time series and maps of SEC and related parameters can be viewed for each Antarctic drainage basin and ice sheet area. Full access to the data is via a simple user registration and site login. A new digital elevation model (DEM) mapping the surface topography of Antarctica has also been produced, available to download from the CPOM portal. This has a wide range of applications from planning fieldwork to modelling changes to the ice sheet.

This will exploit CPOM's 14 years of experience in the use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data to study ice motion, and 19 years of experience in the use of altimeter data to study ice elevation changes.
Collaborator Contribution ORCHESTRA LTS-M programme represents an ambitious coordinated deployment of NERC National Capability (NC) funding to address one of the most important and pressing environmental issues facing us: the role of the ocean in dictating present and future climatic change. The scale and complexity of this issue is such that a collective approach involving each of the relevant NC supported institutes is required, along with the creation of effective national and international linkages to relevant institutes and programmes around the world. The ORCHESTRA grouping has strong track records in each of the elements required, including ambitious fieldwork programmes to measure and understand the pattern and variability of ocean circulation, advanced ocean and climate modelling studies [3, 4], the development and implementation of innovative Earth Observation techniques, and the design and use of novel platforms and sensors. The ORCHESTRA partners have demonstrable expertise in delivering world-class strategic results from these programmes, in order to tackle a range of the most pressing scientific questions.

Impact The REAPER reprocessing chain (REprocessing of Altimeter Products for ERS), a project for ESA, was completed in September 2014 with delivery of the REAPER v1 data set, Product Handbook and QA website. Major improvements with respect to the previous ESA RA products format (OPR - Ocean Product - and WAP - Waveform product) were implemented (e.g. the 4 Envisat RA-2 retrackers, RA calibration improvement, new reprocessed Precise Orbit Solution, ECMWF ERA-interim model, NICO09 ionospheric correction until 1998, GIM ionospheric correction up to 2003, new SSB, etc.). The assessment of the REAPER data quality versus the ERS OPR and WAP data shows a clear improvement in terms of accuracy over the tandem periods between ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat missions (currently assessed periods). Work is still in progress for a further reprocessing campaign (REAPER v1.1) which will address some remaining issues such as poor MWR Wet tropospheric correction, out of range PTR corrections, etc.

Results and Impact 10.12.19 - Widespread coverage of new research by Ice Mass Balance Inter-comparison Exercise (IMBIE), led by Professor Andrew Shepherd and contributed to by Ines Otosaka (both Earth and Environment). The study, published in Nature, reveals Greenland's ice is melting seven times faster than in 1990s; tracking the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) high-end climate scenario. Current trends show this could raise the total number of people effected by coastal flooding, through sea level rise, to 400 million.

The LRF programme, which brings together world-leading researchers from around the UK, aims to address the data-centric engineering needs of society and industry - an important component of which is to better understand the risks posed to infrastructure and society by the natural environment.

Collectively, we are modelling and monitoring our planet better than we have ever done in our history, as a result of sustained efforts from the climate modelling community and space agencies and the private sector worldwide. Climate and weather models can now be run at finer spatial resolutions (10km or better), therefore enabling more realistic simulations of smaller and smaller scale processes (i.e. tropical cyclones in the atmosphere or eddies in the ocean) that can have severe impacts on our planet.

At the same time there is a rapid growth in the number of satellites orbiting the Earth (221 launched in 2015, around 5000 in total) with a significant fraction of these satellites dedicated to Earth Observation using a large variety of sensors working at different electromagnetic frequencies (optical, radar, infrared, etc.). Our ability to store, process and share efficiently the vast amounts of data that are produced (~Pb yearly) by the modelling and remote sensing communities is a pre-requisite for the good functioning of these often publicly funded large programmes.

In this one-day workshop our speakers will present on how the new tools developed in data sciences can be applied to questions relating to climate and the environment to help us address the great challenges that our society is facing in a rapidly changing planet. Our event will be structured around five keynote speakers highlighting five separate topics described below and followed by a panel dialogue between our experts and the audience on the topic of Data Sciences for the Climate and the Environment.

Results and Impact ON BOARD THE AKADEMIK FEDOROV, Barents Sea - Michel Tsamados has studied sea ice for nearly a decade, but until this week he'd never seen it in person.

A physicist at University College London, Tsamados conducts most of his work using satellite data, studying the remote Arctic from afar. That changed late Wednesday night, when the 38-year-old researcher finally witnessed, up close, the focus of his life's work. Standing on the deck of Russian research vessel Akademik Fedorov, cruising through the Arctic Ocean around 81 degrees latitude, he watched a small, gray blob drift into focus. It was his first ice floe.

Arctic ice is disappearing - the question is how fast. Summer sea ice could endure 100 more years, or it could vanish later this decade, with disastrous consequences for the rest of the planet. To nail down the answer, an expedition to the top of the world has to untangle the knotty physics of ice.

Results and Impact This press release by UCL and the University of Leeds describes the findings of a study published in Nature Geoscience. It showed that the volume of Arctic sea ice increased by a third after the summer of 2013 as the unusually cool air temperatures prevented the ice from melting. This suggests that the ice pack in the Northern hemisphere is more sensitive to changes in summer melting than it is to winter cooling, a finding which will help researchers to predict future changes in its volume.

Using modern methods to calculate projected changes to sea levels, researchers discovered that the two ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica respond differently, reflecting their very distinct local climates.
