The team behind the distributed Arctic observation network
We are a group of researchers and engineers at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute working on open-source, low-cost sensor technologies to advance coupled atmosphere, sea-ice, wave, and ocean observations in the Arctic.
Dr. Malte Müller is a senior scientist at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. His research interests include high-resolution coupled ocean, sea-ice, and atmosphere modelling and the provision of weather and climate information to end-users. Malte is the lead-PI of the IceBox project and has been leading the SvalMIZ and ArctSum campaigns.
Dr. Jean Rabault is a senior engineer at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. His research is at the interface between hardware development, machine learning, and oceanography. In particular, Jean has developed the OpenMetBuoy and has been involved in collecting large datasets of sea ice drift, waves in ice, and temperature in the Arctic, which are used to further develop and validate sea ice models.
Alessio Canclini is a PhD student at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute within the Polhavet 2050 project. During his Master's thesis he worked on ultra-high-resolution sea-ice forecasting. His PhD research focuses on multi-source data fusion for advanced forecasting in the Arctic.
