Abstract:
The international Pan-Eurasian Experiment (PEEX) program addresses the full
spectrum of problems related to climate change in Eurasian Northern latitudes. All PEEX
activities rely on the bulk of high-quality observational data provided by the ground and
marine stations, remote sensing and satellite tools. So far, no coordinated station network
has ever existed in Eurasia, moreover, the current scope of relevant research remains largely
unknown as no prior assessment has been done to date. This paper makes the first attempt
to overview the existing ground station pool in the Arctic-Boreal region with the focus on Russia. The geographical, climatic and ecosystem representativeness of the current stations is
discussed, the gaps are identified and tentative station network developments are proposed.
