- An inventory made as a Swedish contribution to the international process
   Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks (SAON).

During the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2008, the Arctic Council initiated a process for developing a circum-polar Sustained Arctic Observing Network (SAON). As a response to this initiative the Swedish IPY Committee initiated an inventory of ongoing monitoring activities which is presented at this home page.
