Welcome to NOAA's Arctic Program. NOAA provides science, service, and stewardship to the rapidly changing Arctic region, its inhabitants, and the Nation. NOAA's Arctic Vision and Strategy //. The Arctic Action Plan //. Average January temperatures range from about −34 °C to 0 °C (−40 to +32 °F), and winter temperatures can drop below −50 °C (−58 °F) over large parts of the Arctic. Average July temperatures range from about −10 to +10 °C (14 to 50 °F), with some land areas occasionally exceeding 30 °C (86 °F) in summer. NOAA provides science, service, and stewardship to the rapidly changing Arctic region, its inhabitants, and the Nation. This annually published report gathers the latest science from top experts to track changes in the Arctic. Tuesday 22 November 2016 05.43 EST Last modified on Wednesday 22 February 2017 12.41 EST. The Arctic is experiencing extraordinarily hot sea surface and air temperatures, which are stopping ice forming and could lead to record lows of sea ice at the north pole next year, according to scientists. Climate of the Arctic. The climate of the Arctic is characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers. There is a large amount of variability in climate across the Arctic, but all regions experience extremes of solar radiation in both summer and winter. In 2014, President Obama released a plan for moving forward on his national strategy to advance U.S. security and stewardship interests in the Arctic. In keeping with the goals and tenets of his strategy, NOAA released its Arctic Action Plan—a document that provides NOAA scientists, stakeholders and partners a roadmap to make shared progress... Arctic Climate Research at the University of Illinois. 1  Welcome. This website is a portal to recent research related to Arctic climate and climate change at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois. ** NEW ** Global climate models (GCMs) are being used more and more to diagnose and project future climate changes in the Arctic. 'Extraordinarily hot' Arctic temperatures alarm scientists. The Arctic is experiencing extraordinarily hot sea surface and air temperatures, which are stopping ice forming and could lead to record lows of sea ice at the north pole next year, according to scientists. Arctic Change. http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/detect. Arctic Change presents recent indicators that describe the present state of the Arctic climate and ecosystem. Content is divided into climate, global, land, marine ecosystem, ice and human categories, and further specialized subcategories. International Arctic Systems for Observing the Atmosphere. http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/iasoa. IASOA advances coordinated research objectives from independent pan-Arctic atmospheric observatories. Resources on the site include datasets, a data portal, observatories, and a news section.
