Description:Over the last 15 years, observations of the Arctic environment have revealed broad, system-wide, and cumulative changes, with potentially catastrophic consequences to Arctic and global society (Richter-Menge et al. 2019; IPCC 2019; CAFF 2017, 2019; AMAP 2017; AC 2009, 2016; ICC 2008, 2014). Yet relative to other regions, structural gaps in sustained observing systems have hampered scientific understanding of the drivers and implications of these changes (Lee et al. 2019; Murray et al. 2018; AOS EOC 2018). Arctic observing systems encounter many challenges. Extreme physical conditions drive up the cost and limit the capabilities of conventional technology systems. A lack of regional infrastructure, including telecommunications, also increases costs and constrains deployments and real-time transmissions. The patchwork of national approaches across eight Arctic states and other observing partners increases planning complexity.
