ASL Mission Statement
The NOAA Arctic Science Laboratory (ASL) is a virtual organization
composed of scientists from throughout NOAA and its institutional partners
who share an interest in Arctic sciences. For us, the Arctic includes
the Arctic Ocean and the seas surrounding it, the adjacent landmasses,
and the overlying atmosphere. We are a multidisciplinary group composed
of physical scientists, chemists, and biologists that study the Arctic
through direct and remote observation, models, and analysis of data.
We apply our knowledge to help NOAA achieve its strategic goals of prediction
and stewardship of the natural environment and thereby provide benefit
to our society and economy.
The ASL web site is intended to describe in one place the significant
resources that NOAA applies to Arctic science issues. The site emphasizes
our people and capabilities, and highlights our accomplishments and
plans. It provides a mechanism for NOAA scientists to identify potential
colleagues and it communicates to others the areas in which partnerships
and collaboration are possible.
Affiliation with the ASL is informal and voluntary. Affiliates need
only be employees of NOAA or one of its institutional partners and have
an active interest in the Arctic.
Three NOAA Arctic websites are sponsored by NOAA's Arctic Research
