We aim to publish the AASCO White paper with the focus on “Arctic feedbacks and interactions, synthesis and future research needs” and the AASCO Stakeholders Summary paper, which would contribute, among other things, to the ongoing science diplomacy processes. White paper is outlined during the 1st AASCO e-meeting on 2-3. November. The White paper aims for synthesizing the scientific understanding and state-of-the-art for cryosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere feedbacks and interactions, discuss the RI and data needs for answering the key scientific questions related to these feedbacks & interactions. Below you find some recent papers relevant in this context.
