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.
