Arctic Upper Atmospheric Observatories

Benefits of Collaboration Allows Studies of Arctic upper Atmosphere from Holistic point of View Promote Data Sharing Access to Increased Funding With Common Goals –Agencies fund groups with common goals vs individual goals –Promotes continuity in funded programs

Obstacles to Collaboration Competition Complexity of Instrument Dictates Focus / Consumes Resources Focus is on Using Local Instrument Lack of Overarching Driver
