... However, recent dramatic reveal and address key challenges to our change in the ice cover, accompanied by fundamental understanding of the Arctic increased demand for access to this environment and its connection to the heretofore remote region, has created an global climate system; to balance highurgent and escalated level of need for Arctic priority user needs against realistic sea ice predictions to serve a broad predictive capabilities; to foster coordinated stakeholder community. Added pressure support of this work within the private and comes with the reality of the limited public sectors; and to provide guidance in resources (i.e., funding and infrastructure)

... - Understanding how the recent regime shift in the Arctic sea ice cover, resulting in a significant reduction in the amount of multiyear ice compared with first-year ice, affects the processes governing the atmosphere-sea ice-ocean system and the models and observations used to study and predict Arctic sea ice dynamics. o Identifying Diverse and Emerging Stakeholder Requirements.

... Questions surrounding the impact of the trend toward an increasingly seasonal Arctic sea ice cover could be addressed with the development of a highly coordinated and integrated process-based study, analogous to Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) project, focused on understanding oceanic, atmospheric, and terrestrial contributions to seasonal sea ice predictions.
