The intent of this pilot project is to determine the drivers of physical changes on the Seward Peninsula. The method will employ observations and a land surface model to determine the role of sea ice concentrations in the Bering and Chukchi Seas on modulating temperature, precipitation, and permafrost distributions on the Seward Peninsula in Alaska. The relative roles of regional feedbacks and large-scale atmospheric dynamics will also be tested. Ongoing maintenance and upgrading of a meteorological station network is included.
