The Arctic Regional Ocean Observing System established by a group of 14 member institutions from nine European countries actively work with ocean observation and modelling systems for the Arctic Ocean and adjacent seas.Ocean and sea ice forecasting systems include

• Daily forecasts for the Nordic Seas and Svalbard (MET.NO)
• Forecast of Arctic ice area and extent by the TOPAZ system (NERSC)
• Forecasts of SST for Greenland and North Atlantic (DMI)

Polar View consortium provides a wide variety of earth observation products that monitor the Polar Regions and mid-latitude areas affected by ice and snow.

The mission of the Alaska Ocean Observing System is to address regional and national needs for ocean information, gather specific data on key coastal and ocean variables, and ensure timely and sustained dissemination and availability of these data.

The Atlas of Community-Based Monitoring in a Changing Arctic is designed to showcase the many community-based monitoring projects and initiatives across the circumpolar world.
