摘要

极地地区正在经历快速的环境变化，同时见证了人类活动的增长和多样化。这些变化需要更加敏感、详细和专门的天气、水、冰和气候(WWIC)信息服务，以便将与人类活动有关的风险降至最低。从广泛的文献综述中得出，本文提供了对选定部门及其使用WWIC信息服务的检查，以便对各种环境预测需求提供初步了解。利用移动性的角度，我们提供了极地地区移动性的特征，以帮助了解当前WWIC的使用和需求。使用四个极性流动的说明性案例研究(社区活动;邮轮旅游;运输;以及政府和研究业务)，文章探讨了两个广泛的问题:(1)极地地区的流动性是如何表征的?(2)关于WWIC信息在极地迁移中的作用，我们知道什么?调查结果表明，所提供的信息与各部门使用和需要世界信息中心信息的方式不一致。本文概述了知识差距，表明需要付出更多努力来了解极地地区WWIC用户、供应商、移动性和决策之间高度复杂的相互联系。

Characterizing polar mobilities to understand the role of weather, water, ice and climate (WWIC) information

ABSTRACT The Polar Regions are undergoing rapid environmental change while simultaneously witnessing growth and diversification of human activity. These changes call for more responsive, detailed and specialized weather, water, ice and climate (WWIC) information services so that the risks related to human activities can be minimized. Drawn from an extensive literature review this article provides an examination of selected sectors and their uses of WWIC information services in order to offer an initial understanding of diverse environmental forecasting needs. Utilizing a mobilities perspective we provide a characterization of mobility in the Polar Regions to help contextualize current WWIC uses and needs. Using four illustrative case studies of polar mobilities (community activities; cruise tourism; shipping; and government and research operations) the article explores two broad questions: (1) How are mobilities characterized in the Polar Regions? (2) What is known about the role of WWIC information in Polar mobilities? The findings suggest an incongruence between the information provided and the ways in which WWIC information is both used and needed by various sectors. Knowledge gaps are outlined that suggest more efforts are needed to understand the highly complex set of interconnections between WWIC users, providers, mobilities and decision-making across the Polar Regions.

期刊介绍： Polar Geographyis a quarterly publication that offers a venue for scholarly research on the physical and human aspects of the Polar Regions. The journal seeks to address the component interplay of the natural systems, the complex historical, political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, and security issues, and the interchange amongst them. As such, the journal welcomes comparative approaches, critical scholarship, and alternative and disparate perspectives from around the globe. The journal offers scientists a venue for publishing longer papers such as might result from distillation of a thesis, or review papers that place in global context results from coordinated national and international efforts currently underway in both Polar Regions.
