| Summary: | The intensification of human impact on the environment has reached unprecedented levels, and nowhere is this more evident than in the Arctic. The repercussions of these processes are readily observed, emphasizing the urgent need for collecting environmental data through automated monitoring stations. Access to this information is crucial in order to comprehensively comprehend the ongoing changes. This is particularly significant due to the challenging conditions faced by human presence in the polar regions, where harsh environmental factors constantly necessitate adaptation to new circumstances. For three decades, scientists from The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) have been collecting Arctic environmental data. Throughout this period, numerous installations have been established, varying in their duration. While some installations have become more permanent fixtures, others may only endure for days, weeks, or even a single season. Weather data play a crucial role in both day-to-day activities and ... |
