Arctic PASSION Online Seminar on "Lake Ice Information in Your Pocket"

Arctic PASSION Online Seminar on "Lake Ice Information in Your Pocket"

10 November 1 PM GMT

Get to know the Lake Ice Service tool for your pocket, listen to the current status of its development as well as our future steps towards the expanded service. The Lake Ice Service collects lake ice information from multiple sources and visualizes the information in an easily accessible and understandable format website map tool. These information are generated by satellite data, governmental in situ networks as well as Community-Based Monitoring. Among other things, lake ice information is important for our understanding of ice-related changes and climate change. Lake ice is sensitive to intra-annual temperature fluctuations and long-term temperature trends.  Beside the climate change aspect, lake ice data are important for transport, arctic livelihood, and safety issues. The information will be useful for citizens and local communities as well as for scientific purposes. The development of the Lake Ice Service is part of the Arctic PASSION project and will be further extended and co-designed in cooperation with users.
