The 2009 update of the web-based Arctic Report Card is now available at:
http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/reportcard/.

The Arctic Report Card is updated annually in October and tracks the
arctic atmosphere, sea ice, biology, ocean, land, and Greenland. The
2009 update indicates that warming of the Arctic continues to be
widespread, and in some cases, dramatic. Linkages between air, land,
sea, and biology are evident.

The Arctic Report Card represents the combined efforts of an
international team of scientists and is peer-reviewed. The intended
audience for the report card is wide, including scientists, students,
teachers, decision makers, and the general public interested in the
arctic environment.
