The U.S. CLIVAR High Latitude Surface Flux
Working Group was formed in January 2008, with the particular goal
of addressing some of the myriad challenges associated with air-sea
and air-ice-ocean exchanges in Arctic, Antarctic, and Southern Ocean
regions. The working group activities are motivated by several
identified deficiencies in estimates of high latitude surface fluxes
(e.g., sensible and latent heat, radiative fluxes, stress, and gas
fluxes).

Terms of Reference
- Assess status of flux products for momentum and heat in high-latitude
regimes, providing an honest assessment of the state of flux products;
evaluate commonalities between Arctic and Antarctic. These will
be assessed on a variety of spatial/temporal scales that are important
to the user community.
- On the basis of the flux assessment, identify
priorities for continued flux observations, parameterizations,
and requirements for updated reanalyses and gridded flux products.
