NOAA Arctic Theme Page: This site provides a wealth of well-organized information for the general public, including "Ask an Expert" essays on the Arctic. In addition, the Arctic Theme Page provides access to widely distributed arctic data and information for scientists, students, teachers, and managers.
NOAA Arctic Research Office: The ARO is a focal point for NOAA's research activities in the Arctic, Bering Sea, North Pacific and North Atlantic regions.
PMEL: The NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory in Seattle, WA, conducts oceanographic and atmospheric research. Polar activities are coordinated through a Coastal and Arctic Research Division and emphasize fisheries and large-scale circulation. PMEL is part of NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research.
CIFAR: The Cooperative Institute for Arctic Research (CIFAR) is located at the University of Alaska and works closely with NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory. CIFAR administers the NOAA Arctic Research Initiative, and coordinates U.S. contributions to the Arctic Council's Arctic Climate Impact Assessment. CIFAR is, like NSIDC's parent organization CIRES, a NOAA-University Joint Institute. The Joint Institutes promote closer cooperation between researchers from NOAA laboratories and universities.
SEARCH: The Study of Environmental Arctic Change is a broad research program that aims to understand the atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial changes that have occurred in the Arctic. The NOAA Arctic Research office leads the Interagency Working Group for SEARCH.
NIC: The National Ice Center (NIC) is operated by the U.S. Navy, NOAA, and the U.S. Coast Guard. NIC provides worldwide operational sea ice analyses and forecasts. NIC products constitute an important resource for polar researchers, and are archived at NSIDC. NIC is affiliated with the NOAA/NESDIS Office of Satellite Data Processing and Distribution and the NOAA National Weather Service.
NOAA/NWS/NCEP/EMC Ocean Modeling Branch: Weather, marine, and climate prediction modeling and analysis.
Daily Sea Ice from NOAA's Ocean Modeling Branch
Daily Snow Cover from NOAA/NESDIS/OSDPD Satellite Services Division: From the Office of Satellite Data Processing and Distribution.
NOAA/NESDIS: The National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service meets the Nation's needs for access to global environmental data from satellites and other sources.
NOAA/NESDIS/NGDC: The National Geophysical Data Center provides long-term stewardship for and access to geophysical data.
NOAA/NESDIS/NODC: The National Oceanographic Data Center is a repository and dissemination facility for global ocean data.
NOAA/NESDIS/NCDC: The National Climatic Data Center is the world's largest active archive of weather and climate data.
