Saon Roads Progress
Arctic PASSION aims to repair flaws in the Arctic observing network by refining its operability, extending pan-Arctic scientific and community-based monitoring with local and Indigenous Knowledge, by streamlining the access and interoperability of Arctic Data services, and by ensuring the economic viability and sustainability of the observing system for years to come. The ambition of…
Read MoreArctic Window Of Copernicus: A Key Analytical Deliverable Of Arctic Passion
Several years ago, Arctic PASSION proposed to establish an Arctic Window of Copernicus, to make data relevant to Arctic region to easily accessible by standardised APIs for geospatial, both for data discovery and data access. The original concept of the Arctic Window evolved in parallel with the development of the Copernicus Arctic Hub, led by…

A new policy brief: “Data-driven Subnational Decision-making in the Arctic: The power of Indigenous voices and data supporting the green transition” will change the way we look at green transition. Published by the team at the University of Lapland, a partner in the Arctic PASSION project. Photo: Snowchange Cooperative The policy brief summarises the preliminary…
Read MoreImproving Data Interoperability In The Arctic
With new monitoring technologies and growing networks of observing systems, the amount of data is increasing rapidly. For the users, it is challenging to analyse data from different sources, and the amount of data in different formats can become overwhelming. As a result, data are still not efficiently used to provide scientific information and knowledge…
Read MoreSupporting Data-Driven Decision-Making At The Local And Regional Level In The Arctic
Earlier this summer, 26 scientists, experts and local, regional and national decision-makers met in an online workshop to identify key issues in linking pan-Arctic observing systems with the needs and responsibilities of subnational authorities and agencies. The scoping Workshop on Data-driven subnational decision-making in the Arctic was organized by the University of Lapland on June 8,…
Read MoreArctic Passion Supports The Saon Data Portal
For the past two months, Arctic PASSION has supported the SAON Data Portal development, a metadata-driven data portal. The background for this portal is that there has been a longstanding need for a well-coordinated and sustained Arctic Observing Network that meets scientific and societal needs, and in January 2007 the Sustained Arctic Observing Networks Initiating Group (SAON IG) was…
Read MoreRegister Now: Data Interoperability Workshop On 31st May At 14.00-15.30 Cest
Data standardization means converting data to a common format, allowing different users to process and analyze it for, e.g., collaborative research and large-scale analysis. Standardization is a necessary requirement for data to be interoperable so that it can be integrated from multiple sources and scientific domains, which in turn is one of the critical steps…
