NOAA Arctic Research Program

The NOAA Arctic Research Program studies the Arctic region to better understand its environment, climate, and ecosystems. It involves collecting data on sea ice, weather patterns, ocean conditions, and wildlife to monitor changes caused by climate change. The program aims to improve predictions of Arctic systems, support sustainable resource management, and inform policy decisions. By understanding these Arctic processes, NOAA helps prepare for impacts on global weather, sea levels, and ecosystems, ensuring informed stewardship of this sensitive and rapidly changing environment.
