Submit to AOS 2024!

The Executive Organizing Committee for AOS 2024 is now seeking community input in the forms of:

  • Posters
  • Short statements

Observing community input can serve to highlight important observations and data products, management, or logistical needs or gaps, explore emerging opportunities, address a current challenge, present new initiatives, or technology that can contribute to Arctic observing (including global programs), or review on-going observing activities or issues that are relevant for the development, application, operation, or support of a sustained Arctic observing network.

Posters

We are currently preparing to accept poster submissions. Please check back shortly for details!

Short Statements

Short statements should link where appropriate to the working groups identified for AOS 2024:

  • WG 1: Regional to Global Observing
  • WG 2: Data Sharing
  • WG 3: System Implementation/SAON ROADS
  • WG 4: Observing System Benefits

These statements will be used to help guide discussions during the AOS Thematic Working Group sessions. Authors may be invited to give presentations during breakout sessions at AOS 2024, and a synthesis of issues included in the statements will inform recommendations and action items adopted at the Summit and conveyed to Arctic Council Working Groups, and to local, national, and international bodies overseeing, supporting, or carrying out sustained Arctic observations. 

Input on other important and relevant topics related to AOS are welcome under the category of “OTHER: Other high-priority issues for Arctic observing.” If you are interested in submitting a session proposal, we recommend submitting a short statement as a companion to the session under the OTHER category. 

The submission deadline for short statements has been extended until January 15, 2024.
