ARCTIC Special Interest Group
ARCTIC Special Interest Group It is my pleasure to share with you to the first ARCTIC-SIG Newsletter. We are sure that you will soon share our sense of satisfaction in setting in place this already growing association under the auspices of the Canadian Meteorology and Oceanography Society (CMOS). We hope that you will take advantage of the collaborations that this Special Interest Group can facilitate as a national hub of collaboration and exchange of arctic and northern ideas. The most direct tangible benefits for members is a better awareness of the significant body of meteorological and oceanographic research and operations taking place in our Arctic, and to foster new collaborations, partnerships and opportunities. From the onset, the Arctic-SIG has received significant financial support from the CMOS National Council to help stand-up this important forum. The SIG’s Executive also chose to the not levy a fee for SIG membership. We will therefore be seeking corporate, academic & Government funding to help put in place required operating funds to move forward on the SIG agenda. In addition, we are also calling to the SIG members to consider making a donation through your CMOS membership registration to be allocated directly to the SIG. Any amount will be welcomed. As we progress, it is my hope that the Arctic-SIG will move forward from a small Arctic- forum to a growing association that is fully engaged in scientific research, discussions to better foster collaborations. Most importantly, we can provide to you a voice to arctic and northern scientific issues related to meteorology and oceanography. -
