6  Timely information on current state of the Arctic  Updated annually  Essays on 23 key topics  Prepared by international team of 121 scientists from 14 countries  Peer reviewed

7 YouTube video summarizes 2011 status - Succinct summary - Accessible from computers and mobile phones - Easily embedded in web pages by media, bloggers, science sites

8 What’s new in 2011? Persistent warming has caused dramatic changes in the Arctic Ocean and the ecosystem it supports. -reduced sea ice extent and thickness -freshening of the upper ocean -impacts increased biological productivity loss of habitat for walrus and polar bears

9 5 chapters Status indicated by traffic light Headline for each chapter Essays provide details for topics in each chapter Navigation brings all information to top level

10 Status Significant change Headline: Higher temperatures in the Arctic and unusually lower temperatures in some low latitude regions are linked to global shifts in atmospheric wind patterns. Essays: Temperature & Clouds Carbon dioxide & methane Ozone & UV radiation

 Community-wide summary of expected September sea ice extent Monthly reports throughout summer Synthesize community- wide estimates Scientific rationale for range in estimates Not formal predictions 13

 26 groups participated  Sept 2011 minimum was 4.6 million km 2 Outlooks based on May data averaged 4.7 million km 2 Outlooks based on June data averaged 4.6 million km 2  Good performance of outlooks due in part to year-to-year persistence of ice conditions  2011 minimum depended more on initial late spring conditions than extreme weather conditions 14

15 Summarizes recent important Arctic science results … for a broader audience, beyond the scientific literature
