  • Sea Surface Temperature Changes in Polar Regions (Pierre Le Borgne)
  • Sea-Ice Surface Temperature Measurements: Status and Utility (Jacob Høyer)
• Plenary discussion: Combined interpretation of Arctic temperatures
• Networking activities
• Breakout discussion groups on
  • Techniques for matching measurements and retrievals across different platforms
  • Measurement of high-latitude Surface Temperature (SST): Why is it difficult, and how can we do it better?
  • Satellite Land Surface Temperatures (LST) in high latitudes and high altitudes: How can we exploit them better?
  • The EarthTemp White Paper: Turning recommendations into actions
• Poster sessions & Poster discussions

Note that details of topics and presentations may change as planning progresses.
