IS-ENES3 workshop
User-relevant forecasts with sea-ice models
Work Package 4 leader, Steffen Tietsch, gave a keynote presentation in September at the workshop “The future of sea-ice modelling”, funded by IS-ENES3 and held in Iceland.
Presenting “User-relevant forecasts with sea-ice models” provided the opportunity to introduce the KEPLER project and present outcomes and share lessons learnt.

The purpose of this report is to review the stakeholder needs and community-based observations for the EU project KEPLER. It focussed on the remote sensing needs of the local and Indigenous communities of NW Russia, Sweden, Finland and Norway. The approach includes a discussion of cryospheric hazards and traditional weather observation and prediction materials from the Sámi communities. It has been produced to capture the results of the WP1 of the Kepler project. The science lead for the report has been Tero Mustonen from Snowchange Co-op.
