About DOMINO
Processes at the interface between air, snow, floating and grounded ice, and the ocean represent key “domino stones” that regulate the interaction between climate compartments in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. However, these processes are largely under-sampled, and their variability under anthropogenic climate change is poorly constrained, making targeted observations urgent and timely.
The DOMINO Flagship Initiative puts forward a multi-annual observational framework focussing on these key “domino stones”, that is, cascading processes, with particular attention to extreme events affecting meridional and zonal exchange of heat, moisture and CO2 across climate system boundaries.
