Need for Collaboration
• Big Picture of Polar Cap Phenomenon
• Complex, Coupled System
• Multiple Locations
• Large, Complex, Expensive Instrumentation required
• Technology, Multiple Sensor (radar, optical, spaceborne)

Arctic Research
Arctic System Science• Air• Land • Sea• People• History• Animals• Plants• Climate• Snow & Ice• Water Systems• Coast• Environment• Pollution
Arctic Upper Atmosphere• Sun• Magnetic Field
– Earth– Solar
• Atmospheric Chemistry• Plasma Physics• Aurora• Modeling

Approach to Collaboration
• Form Consortium– High Latitude Observatories
• Sondrestrom• EISCAT • AMISR, Poker Flat & Resolute Bay
• Formal Structure– URSI (coordinate schedule for ground based facilities)– Science Initiatives
• CEDAR• GEM

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
