ARCSS Program | Overview
Important Arctic System Science Program Addresses
The objectives of the ARCSS Program are developed by the science community through science steering committees, community planning activities, and through the ARCSS Committee. Each of the major programs and projects of the ARCSS Program have separate science steering and management structures. Data are coordinated by a specific Data Management Protocol and managed and archived at the ARCSS Data Coordination Center at the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Because of the focus on system science and the need for ongoing collaboration and coordination, the scientific community recommended that NSF establish an ARCSS Program Office and a community committee to coordinate the activities of the components and to facilitate their integration. At NSF's request, the ARCSS Program Office was established at the Arctic Research Consortium of the United States (ARCUS), and the first ARCSS Committee was appointed in 1991. One of ARCUS' major activities is planning and coordinating the work of the ARCSS Committee, which serves as the focal point for integration and coordination among the many ARCSS components and projects.
