The goal of the Atlas is to provide the international scientific community and wider general public with a regional dataset and illustrative material in support of climate change studies in the key regions of high northern latitudes. The dataset is built on an enhanced collection of observations spanning over a period from the end of the 19th century to 2012. It is based on in situ data that had been considerably improved (data addition, editing and quality control) within the framework of IODE’s Global Oceanographic Data Archeology and Rescue Project (GODAR). The geographic region of the Atlas is bounded by 60° N – 82° N, 45° W – 70° E and thus includes, entirely or partly, eight seas.
