1 International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP)  Established by PSC in 1979  20 Participants from 9 countries.  33 buoys currently reporting  Data are available in near real-time  Research data are available through IABP web server: http://iabp.apl.washington.edu Alaska Canada Russia NOAA Affiliation (17 of 33 buoys) 4 Fully funded (purchase, deployment, & Argos costs) 3 NIC purchase and Argos costs funded by OGP 7 NIC Argos covered by OGP 3 NOAA/PMEL (NSF)

4 Enhancement of the International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP) CRREL Ice Mass Balance Buoy (IMB) JAMSTEC Ocean Buoy (JCAD) Uses of IABP Observations: 1.Weather and ice forecasting 2.Validation of satellite data 3.Forcing, validation, and assimilation into numerical models 4.Climate Research  Longest, continuing record over Arctic Ocean  Over 500 papers have been written using observations from the IABP! Maintaining the IABP array is a challenge! AWI - Germany, JAMSTEC - Japan, PSC & CRREL - USA Collaboration and coordination has been the key to the IABP’s success!
