Enhancing the Saliency of climate services for marine mobility Sectors in European Arctic Seas (SALIENSEAS)

Ice coverage in the Arctic Ocean is retreating, leading to a more dynamic marine environment with sea ice in unexpected quantities and places. Reliable weather and sea-ice forecasts are essential for decision-making on Arctic marine operations and the safety of ships maneuvering in these remote, frozen waters.
