An image collage representing the Mixed-Phase Arctic Cloud Experiment graces the cover of the latest report from the U.S. Interagency Arctic Research Policy Committee. The report, Arctic Observing Network (AON): Toward a U.S. Contribution to Pan-Arctic Observing, pinpoints where and how different Federal agencies are collecting environmental data as part of the implementation of the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH). This study aims to understand the rapidly changing Arctic, improve predictive capability, and identify appropriate adaptive responses to change. Contributions from the ARM Climate Research Facility’s North Slope of Alaska sites are included in the report.

The new report sets forth a plan to continue the AON in cooperation with local, State of Alaska, and international groups. For more information, see the report on the National Science Foundation website.
