URGENT NEED TO BETTER UNDERSTAND ARCTIC ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION AND CLIMATE ARCTIC IS A BEACON OF GLOBAL CHANGE Rapid warming over past decades Receptor of mid-latitudes pollution – arctic haze, ozone build-up, accumulation of persistent pollutants Large and increasing influence from boreal forest fires in Siberia and North America POTENTIALLY LARGE RESPONSE Melting of polar ice sheets and permafrost Decrease of snow albedo from soot depostion Efficient UV/Vis absorption by ozone, soot Halogen radical chemistry UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR NASA Large NASA satellite fleet for atmospheric composition and radiation Interagency and international collaboration through POLARCAT Broader synergies enabled by other IPY activities (OASIS for oceans, etc.)
