The U.S. CLIVAR Greenland Ice Sheet/Ocean Interactions Working Group was formed in December 2010. The overarching goal of this working group is to foster and promote interaction between the diverse oceanographic, glaciological, atmospheric and climate communities, including modelers and field and data scientists within each community, interested in glacier/ocean interactions around Greenland, to advance understanding of the process and ultimately improve its representation in climate models.
