SEARCH - A Study of Environmental Arctic Change
NOAA and Environment Canada are cooperating closely under the aegis of NOAA's SEARCH program. NOAA/ESRL and Environment Canada have set up an integrated system for monitoring aerosol optical properties, similar to systems at other NOAA/ESRL long-term monitoring sites, e.g., Mauna Loa, HI and Barrow, AK.
