作者：Diogo FOLHAS,Joao CANARIO,Warwick F.VINCENT

摘要：Atmospheric temperatures over northern regions of the world are rising at twice the global average,and one of the most conspicuous effects is the rapid and ongoing decline in summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.To improve understanding about the causes and consequences of this decline,the project‘Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate’(https://www.mosaicexpedition.org/)commenced in September 2019,under the auspices of the International Arctic Science Committee(IASC).This project is an ambitious year-round set of observations of multiple aspects of the Arctic Ocean,sea ice and atmosphere,involving five icebreakers(notably the German vessel Polarstern that was frozen into the Arctic pack ice),and 600 science personnel from more than 20 nations.
