OASIS  

Definition

  • Short Title: OASIS Project URL: http://www.oasishome.net/ Proposal URL: http://classic.ipy.org/development/eoi/proposal-details.php?id=38 OASIS is an international multi-disciplinary effort to study Ocean-Atmosphere-Sea Ice-Snowpack Interactions in the Arctic. The specific focus is to develop a quantitative understanding of the processes that are involved in Air-Surface Interactions and chemical exchange between the title reservoirs. As the nature and extent of snow and ice cover is changing, OASIS will assess the associated impact on, and by, climate change, and the human and ecosystem impacts of air-surface exchanges of chemical species. OASIS will quantify the impact of chemical, physical and biological exchange processes on tropospheric chemistry, the cryosphere, and the marine environment, and their feedback mechanisms in the context of a changing climate. OASIS has identified studies in the Arctic Ocean surface environment as a key programmatic component to reach these goals. The OASIS program was established in 2003, and has developed an internationally vetted Science Plan, and an Implementation Plan, available at http://www.OASISHome.net. A growing number of individual projects are contributing to the scientific goals since winter 2004/05. OASIS is linked to a number of international organizations and activities, including AMAP (the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program), and the IGBP (International Geosphere - Biosphere) programs IGAC (International Global Atmospheric Chemistry) under the AICI (Air Ice Chemical Interactions) activity, and SOLAS (Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study).
