Arctic Report Card
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Arctic Report Card presents annually updated, peer-reviewed information on recent observations of environmental conditions in the Arctic relative to historical records. In 2011, NOAA officially designated the Arctic Report Card as Influential Scientific Information.
The audience for the Arctic Report Card is wide, including scientists, students, teachers, decision makers and the general public interested in Arctic environment and science.
2010
The Arctic Report Card headline for 2010 is that a return to previous Arctic conditions is unlikely. Record high temperatures across Canadian Arctic and Greenland, a reduced summer sea ice cover, record snow cover decreases and links to some Northern Hemisphere weather support this conclusion. Further conclusions for 2010 are presented on the Report Card website, in the Arctic Report Card 2010 YouTube video, and below:
