"The purpose of the SAON-IG is to develop a set of recommendations on how to achieve long-term Arctic-wide observing activities that provide free, open and timely access to high quality data (obtained at the Earth’s surface and from space) that will realise pan-Arctic and global value-added services and provide societal benefits (Figure 1). The SAON IG promotes coordination, collaboration and communication among all parties (Figure 1) to develop the recommendations and achieve a lasting legacy of International Polar Year 2007-2009."
