Agenda of a workshop of the ACE-DATA Antarctic Sea-Atmosphere Interactions Data (ASAID) project, which was held at École Polytecnique Fédéral de Lausanne (EPFL) in November 2018. The Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition took place over a period of three months during the austral summer of 2016-2017 and presents the first foray into linking the islands, the surrounding ocean and the Antarctic continent. On board the R/V Akademik Tryoshnikov scientists from a wide range of disciplines undertook oceanographic, terrestrial and atmospheric studies and collected data and samples on the expedition track around the Antarctic continent. The ACE-DATA: Delivering Added value To Antarctica project, a joint venture of the Swiss Polar Institute, the Paul Scherrer Institute and the Swiss Data Science Center began shortly after the expedition. It comprises two parts, of which one is a study of air-sea interactions using data science techniques, known as ASAID, while the other part is the creation of an openly accessible platform for all data collected during ACE.

We would like to acknowledge the efforts of all ACE members. ACE and J. Schmale received funding from École Polytechnicque Fédérale de Lausanne, the Swiss Polar Institute and from Ferring Pharmaceuticals. ACE-DATA is funded by the Swiss Data Science Center.
