Arctic Circle Assembly 2015 – October ReykjavÍk Andrea Merlone Martin Milton BIPM Director Stable references and a metrologist’s approach are necessary to capture environmental data that may inform us about the past, the present and the future. I am therefore delighted, as Director of BIPM, to endorse and support the session «Metrology fo Environment in the Arctic» of the Arctic Circle Assembly

Arctic Circle Assembly 2015 – October ReykjavÍk Andrea Merlone Arcitc Research Euramet Strategic Research Agenda The extreme ranges of variability of the key-quantities measured requiring higher accuracy than for other areas need dedicated calibration procedures and specific uncertainty evaluation. The logistical difficulties in reaching, removing, handling instruments for the calibration campaigns require self validating in situ measurements and calibration devices operating in arctic- based research stations. combine the expertise achieved in the individual, traditional fields of metrology into new interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary strategies
