3. AON: vision statements and calls for action.(Arctic Observing Network: Toward a U.S. Contribution to Pan-Arctic Observing)
There is broad consensus for developing enhanced, coordinated and sustained observing sites, systems and networks in the Arctic. This consensus is represented by two widely-quoted reports: the SEARCH Implementation Plan (SEARCH, 2005) and a US National Academies report on AON (NRC, 2006). They are vision statements and calls for action, and the main focus of this section.
The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA) and the Second International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP II) also call for improved observations and monitoring. These are summarized briefly at the end of this section.
a. SEARCH
SEARCH is a US Federal inter-agency program that relies on a strong partnership with academia. The SEARCH Implementation Plan is presented as a point of reference for IPY and AON planning. The implementation activities are organized into three categories: Observing; Understanding; Responding. The report also describes a data management strategy and the importance of education and outreach.
The SEARCH Implementation Plan (SEARCH, 2005) identifies seven key scientific questions that lie at the heart of SEARCH:
1. Is the Arctic system moving to a new state?
2. To what extent is the Arctic system predictable, i.e., what are the potential accuracies and/or uncertainties in predictions of relevant Arctic variables over different time scales?
