Note: The Russian chart component of this product has been
replaced and updated by Sea Ice
Charts of the Russian Arctic in Gridded Format, 1933-2006 and the U.S
chart component by National Ice
Center Arctic Sea Ice Charts and Climatologies in Gridded Format.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) was established in June 1995 under the
framework of the U.S.-Russian Joint Commission on Economic and Technological
Cooperation. In order to expand scientific understanding of the Arctic, the
EWG Arctic Climatology Project compiled a set of three atlases on CD-ROM for
arctic oceanography, sea ice, and meteorology.
U.S. and Russian partners developed the EWG Joint U.S.-Russian Arctic Sea Ice
Atlas. The U.S. Navy submarine and Meteorology and Oceanography (METOC)
community strongly supported this project. The U.S. Arctic Submarine
Laboratory and the National Ice Center (NIC)/Naval Ice Center (NAVICE)--a
joint agency supported by the U.S. Navy, NOAA, and the U.S. Coast
Guard--prepared the data. The Russian Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute
(AARI) in St. Petersburg contributed sea ice data and analyses. The
Environmental Research Institute in Michigan designed and compiled the CD-ROM
and served as managing editor of the project.
