GOMO Community Updates: Arctic Report Card, Leadership Updates & more

The GOMO Observer
Edition: Winter 2023
Message from the Director
I am very excited to once again communicate through our GOMO newsletter. Kudos to Jessica Mkitarian, and our Knauss Fellows Jesse Gwinn and Sarah Tucker, for their tireless efforts to increase the number of
GOMO stories and news
items accessible through various NOAA channels.
As you will note below, the 18th Arctic Report Card was introduced at the Fall AGU meeting. Organized and led by our Arctic Research Program team (shout out to Sarah and Sandy!), the Report Card notes that the Arctic remains a key region of significant climate change that impacts a wide range of local communities. These changes enabled GOMO to successfully seek and receive a small amount of IRA funding to advance our Arctic activities (see our story below on a call for proposals).
At the end of another busy year, it’s a natural time to reflect on our many accomplishments. We are undertaking an effort to assemble and share some of these achievements in, and out of, the ocean. No doubt we will have many items from your Progress Reports to highlight.
With 2023 drawing to a close, on behalf of all of GOMO, we wish everyone a wonderful holiday season.
Happy Holidays!
David Legler

GOMO Community Updates: Accomplishments Report, Ocean Decade Conference & more!

The GOMO Observer
Spring 2024
Message from the Director
Spring: what an amazingly beautiful time of year. In preparation for a busy time of decision-making, planning, and engagement GOMO spent the last few months developing an inaugural
Accomplishments Report for 2023
that beautifully conveys the scope and breadth of GOMO-supported activities (shout out to Jessica Mkitarian and Jesse Gwinn for their leadership!). Many thanks to our partners who completed much of the work represented in the Report.
We are in the midst of finalizing our FY24 financial award decisions. We are grateful for a level budget from FY23. However, costs for critical observing sensors, equipment, labor, and ship-time (which have exceeded $2M for the first time) are up everywhere. While we have limited ability to address all needs, we are taking steps each year to minimize any reductions to our awards that support critical parts of the global ocean observing system.
The good news is that ocean observing needs continue to be on the minds of NOAA leadership and Congress.
For example, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) is enabling GOMO to increase support in select areas and/or recapitalize select assets.
Finally, I am very pleased to note the addition of two new Knauss Fellows this year. We are also celebrating the tenure of Ms Claudia Rojo, who has been a bedrock of GOMO finances for more than a decade. She is moving on to a new opportunity in NOAA: All the best Claudia in your exciting future!

People of GOMO
Each summer, NOAA provides internship opportunities for undergraduate students through programs such as the
José E. Serrano Educational Partnership Program with Minority Serving Institutions (EPP/MSI)
and the
Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship
. These programs, among other
educational opportunities for K12, undergraduate, and graduate students
, enable students interested in oceanic and atmospheric research and policy to gain first-hand experience and make meaningful contributions in these areas. This summer, GOMO had the opportunity to host two interns, Kelli Ong and Diego Rivera.
Kelli Ong
joined GOMO as an
EPP/MSI Scholar
. Kelli is an aspiring marine scientist from Los Angeles, California and is a rising junior at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Kelli worked with GOMO’s
Arctic Research Program (ARP)
team under the mentorship of Cynthia Garcia-Eidell to help create new web pages for the Arctic Research Program’s funded projects. Kelli developed
12 web pages
that summarize each project’s research goals and objectives and provide access to datasets, advancing the Arctic Research Program’s commitment to the findability, accessibility, and reusability of vital Arctic data. Kelli also assisted with analyzing and visualizing water-column data taken from a 2018 research cruise in the Bering and Chukchi seas.
Kelli aspires to conduct research on the impacts of climate change in polar (both Arctic and Antarctic) ecosystems. The opportunity to work on projects with ARP has been very eye-opening and given Kelli insight as to where her research could possibly go in the future. As someone who hopes to work for NOAA in the future, Kelli also enjoyed learning about the inner workings of a NOAA office, specifically in regards to networking and learning from leaders in Arctic research. Kelli shared that her experience working in the agency has given her “a lot of hope that diverse voices can make a difference in NOAA.” Kelli delivered an excellent presentation during NOAA’s 2023 Science and Education Symposium, earning an “Outstanding Presentation Award” for her work.
Diego Rivera
joined GOMO as a
Hollings Scholar
. He is a rising sophomore at the University of Florida, Gainesville, where he is working towards a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science and a certificate in Climatology and Meteorology. Diego spent the summer working with GOMO Program Managers Cheyenne Stienbarger and Alyse Larkin on a project focused on sea level rise impacts in small island developing states in the tropical Pacific, specifically the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Diego produced a database on tide gauge technologies and developed recommendations for low-cost systems, installation, and a community outreach strategy to support
sea level rise monitoring efforts
in FSM.
Diego’s driving motivation is researching and addressing the impacts of climate change. His work this summer allowed him to gain new skills in both research and communication related to sea level rise in the tropical Pacific. It has also given Diego a unique first-hand view of the internal workings of NOAA and how program managers use science to inform policy decisions. Diego demonstrated excellent written and oral communication skills, receiving great feedback for his presentation and public speaking skills at NOAA’s 2023 Science and Education Symposium.
The Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing team thanks Kelli and Diego for their valuable contributions this summer. Congratulations, Kelli and Diego, and all of NOAA’s 2023 Summer Interns!

Meet GOMO’s new Knauss Fellows: Jessica Gwinn & Sarah Tucker
Jessica Mkitarian
March 8, 2023
News
,
People
The Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing Program (GOMO) has a history of working with NOAA’s
Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship Program
each year, and has supported 12 Knauss Fellows since 2015! This February, GOMO welcomed two new fellows,
Sarah Tucker
and
Jessica (Jesse) Gwinn
. Sarah comes to GOMO from Hawaii Sea Grant and is working to support the Arctic Research and Communications portfolios. Jesse is from Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant and is helping with GOMO’s Pacific Islands Capacity Building and Communications. Get to know our new team members in their introductory blog below!
Sarah Tucker, Knauss Fellow 2023
GOMO Knauss Fellows & alumnae attend the 2023 Knauss Reception. From left to right:  Kelley Uhlig  (‘19), Sarah Tucker (‘23), Emily Smith (‘15), Ann-Christine Zinkann (‘20), and Jessica Gwinn (‘23).
Jessica Gwinn, Knauss Fellow 2023
What made you apply for the Sea Grant Knauss Fellowship?
Sarah:
While working directly with a coastal community as a graduate student, I realized that I could be a more effective collaborator and advocate if I had a better understanding of how science informs policy and management and
vice versa
, how policy and management informs science. The Knauss Fellowship provides the perfect opportunity to gain this knowledge, while also providing first-hand exposure to a variety of career paths, a broadened network, and chance to participate in meaningful coastal and ocean resource management. This year I am hoping to build skills in working at the science-policy interface, grow my leadership experiences, collaborate across agencies and offices, and challenge myself to become a better scientist, project manager, and communicator.
Jesse:
Prior to the Knauss Fellowship, my PhD research focused on studying the fate of harmful algae toxins in marine food webs to improve prediction of seafood-borne illnesses in humans. Harmful algae are a global issue requiring a considerable amount of community and stakeholder engagement to communicate risks associated with consuming contaminated seafood and to aid in developing management strategies. Although I could see the implications of my work for human and marine ecosystem health and the socioeconomic security of coastal communities, most of my career so far had been spent as a researcher. I applied to the Knauss Fellowship as an opportunity to learn more about the intersections between science, policy, and communication – all of which play a role in protecting people and the environment.
What drew you to the GOMO office?
Sarah:
As an international leader in ocean observations, I felt a position within the GOMO office would align perfectly with my interests in biological oceanography, time-series management and analyses, data sharing, international collaboration, technology development, science communication, and community engagement. In particular, the Arctic Research and Communications Fellow Position would provide the opportunity to work at the forefront of Arctic research and policy, engage across NOAA and among federal agencies, support communities, and take part in the communications, including the annual creation of the Arctic Report Card. Following my interview with the office, I saw that GOMO was incredibly collaborative and supportive, and was excited to join such a positive work environment.
Jesse:
I was drawn to GOMO because they seemed like a great team with people that are passionate about what they do. The Pacific Islands Capacity Building & Communications Fellow position was particularly appealing to me because of my previous experiences working in coastal areas and tropical islands, through which I grew to appreciate the connections of these communities to the ocean and the challenges they face in light of climate change and other environmental stressors. I was excited by the opportunity to apply my background in marine science to engage and uplift these often underserved communities and to improve global awareness, education, and access to ocean data.
What do you like to do for fun? Do you have a favorite place in DC yet?
Sarah:
I enjoy spending time outdoors, swimming, with friends and family, and learning new languages. I am still exploring DC, but so far some of my favorite places include the Eastern Market and the US Botanical Garden.
Jesse:
I love being outside and staying active, so I usually spend a lot of my free time biking, paddleboarding, or playing fetch with my recently adopted dog, a 9-year old Glen terrier named Doug. I’ve been doing yoga for about 10 years, so I am also often found listening to music and doing handstands around my house. I’m still exploring DC but have really enjoyed visiting the Smithsonian museums and the National Arboretum. Being from Texas and Alabama, I am not too fond of the cold, so I am excited for the weather to warm up to hopefully spend more time getting outside the city to go hiking!

Arctic Sea Ice Loss Contributed to Greenland’s Increased Ice Sheet Melting, Study Says

Arctic Sea Ice Loss Contributed to Greenland’s Increased Ice Sheet Melting, Study Says
New CPO-supported research found that decreasing Arctic sea ice has been an important contributor to changes in atmospheric circulation and temperature, both factors promoting Greenland’s surface melt. A report of the study appears in the May 2016 issue of the
Journal of Climate.
Reanalysis data used for this study shows Arctic sea ice decrease for all months since 1979, with summer sea ice decreasing 22% and Greenland’s ice sheet surface decreasing 237% compared to 1979. According to the report, these indices for sea ice loss and ice sheet melt suggest a close association between Arctic sea ice variations and Greenland’s ice sheet melt.
Researchers observed high pressures in the troposphere over Greenland, combined with anomalous anticyclonic circulation over the central and south regions, as well as easterly and northeasterly winds in northern Greenland. These shifts in temperature and circulation enhance warm air advection from the ocean into south Greenland and promote additional surface melting, the report states. Further, researchers identified an association between reduced sea ice and increased atmospheric water vapor, which could be contributing to Greenland’s surface melt.
Researchers also used model simulations, implementing climatological and sea ice conditions that confirmed observation-based conclusions about sea ice loss and Greenland’s ice sheet cover melt. Additional simulations suggested the observed associations resulted primarily from sea ice and atmospheric changes over Greenland, as opposed to natural variability.
The report also states that the observed sea ice, atmosphere, and ice sheet relationship should contribute to accelerated global sea level rise and possibly more frequent extreme weather events for the North Atlantic and Europe.

Has Arctic Sea Ice Loss Contributed to Increased Surface Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet?
