	Arctic Climate Change
		Arctic Climate Research at the University of Illinois
		We provide Arctic temperature trends and changes of other primary surface variables (e.g., sea level pressure, precipitation, sea ice cover) archived in this climate summary, portions of which are published each year in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society.
		At the bottom of this link, we evaluate the biases of simulated temperature, sea level pressure, and precipitation fields from the corresponding variables in the ERA40 reanalysis for the 1958-2000 period.

	Arctic Council
		The Arctic Council is an outgrowth of the Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy (AEPS), announced by the eight Arctic states in 1991 and based on a proposal by the Finnish Government to initiate a process to address Arctic-wide environmental issues.
		The Arctic states, taking advantage of the opportunity for cooperation presented by the end of the Cold War, were particularly interested in giving an international scope to efforts to clean-up toxins in the Russian Arctic.
		The Arctic states decided to continue the tradition under AEPS of extending invitations to outside organizations and non-Arctic states with significant expertise and experience in the Arctic who could contribute to the work of the Council and its subsidiary bodies by participating as Observers.

		"The Arctic is characterized by one of the most extreme environments on the planet, with limited sunlight, extreme temperatures, and a short growing season.
		Sea ice, snow cover, glaciers, tundra, permafrost, boreal forests, and peatlands are all sensitive indicators of change, susceptible to subtle variations in sunlight, surface temperature, ocean heat transport, air and ocean chemistry, and the particulate loading of the atmosphere.
