Ecosystems Collaboration Teams), studies of energy budgets over glaciers (with Glaciers & Sea Level Collaboration Team) and description of MOSAiC status with Sea Ice Collaboration Team. For monitoring of Performance Element progress, we designated and reached out to specific ongoing agency contacts affiliated with the team for periodic updates from their respective agencies. Describe how your team has engaged stakeholders in the work of IARPC and how their engagement has enhanced implementation of your goal. Stakeholders were invited to the CT meetings. In our kickoff meeting in April, representatives of several Arctic working groups with atmospheric interests were invited to give short presentations of their activities and participate in discussions of common interest with one another as well as with ACT team members. What steps will you take to enhance communication and collaboration between agencies and engage stakeholders in FY2018? During FY2018, ACT meetings will be scheduled around progress reviews of selected major Atmospheric Performance Elements in order to keep both agency and non-federal interested stakeholders informed of current plans and actions central to FY2018 activities of the team. Where stakeholder groups have identified interest and activity in the research area for that month, we may repeat the model of 2017 by inviting brief input from them along with the ACT member contributions. We plan intentional direct outreach to specific stakeholders with special interest in the meeting topics of specific monthly meetings. Atmosphere Collaboration Team Statistics: Number of meetings: 6 Number of attendees on average: 18 Percentage of the attendees that are fed (vs. non-fed): 50% Sea Ice Collaboration Team (SICT) Team Leaders: Intrieri (NOAA), Melinda Webster (NASA), Olivia Lee (UAF), Jackie Richter-Menge (USARC) Contributing Agencies: DHS (USCG), DOD (Navy, NRL, ONR), DOE, DOI (BOEM), NASA, NOAA, NSF What is your team’s major scientific/research achievement during this fiscal year? Progress is reported on all 11 performance elements assigned to the Sea Ice research goal in the Arctic Research Plan 2017-2021 via the IARPC Collaborations website. Highlights include: International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP, ) represents a robust collaboration between 32 different Federal, research and operational institutions from many different countries. The IABP continues to maintain a fundamental element of the Arctic Observing Network (AON), made up of drifting buoys that observe meteorological, oceanographic and sea ice conditions. As of this
