[IP] Interdisciplinary physical phenomena within the multiple spheres in polar regions

Scopes

In the present earth system, various types of spatiotemporal fluctuations in interdisciplinary physical phenomena have been observed within the multiple spheres (atmosphere-ocean-cryosphere-geosphere) of the polar region. An understanding of the mechanism and activities for these interdisciplinary phenomena has significance for evaluating accurate responses of polar systems involving global warming, which is currently progressing worldwide.

Taking these issues into account, the conveners would like to invite many contributions to this special session that treat recent scientific achievements for various physical phenomena associated with interactions between multiple spheres, including a part of the ionosphere. Based on new information of several types of long-term phenomena such as strength variations of wave amplitudes and their frequency responses, there is a focus on polar amplification of global warming at high latitude. Topics involving interdisciplinary infrastructure (such as databases, GIS, and CIT) and related outreach activities are also welcomed.
