About Our Arctic Work //

Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR)—or “NOAA Research”— provides the research foundation for understanding the complex Arctic system, including the complicated linkages among melting sea ice, changing climate, ecosystems and weather patterns in the Arctic and around the globe. Through increased scientific understanding and improved service delivery of predictions and forecasts, NOAA Research supports the critical mission of the other NOAA lines offices as well as focuses on issues related to national security concerns through the collection of environmental intelligence. NOAA Research is committed to effective stewardship and management of coastal and ocean resources and supporting resilient and vibrant Arctic communities and economies.
