Sustained Observations of the North Pole Environment to Characterize Ongoing Arctic Change
This award supports the continuation of the aerial hydrographic surveys component of the North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO) as part of the Arctic Observing Network (AON) and the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH).
