SIOS – SVALBARD INTEGRATED ARCTIC EARTH OBSERVING SYSTEM

摘要

The Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing Systemrn(SIOS) is a Norwegian initiated ESFRI project (ESFRI:rnEuropean Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures)rnaiming at building up an international researchrninfrastructure on the Svalbard archipelago in thernEuropean Arctic. The vision is that SIOS shall be arnregional observational system for long-term acquisitionrnand proliferation of fundamental knowledge on globalrnenvironmental change (GEC) within an Earth SystemrnScience (ESS) perspective in and around Svalbard.rnSIOS will systematically develop and implementrnmethods for how observational networks are to be builtrnand thus become a leader regarding observationalrnsystems in the Arctic and Polar regions.
