This is our sixth NABOS scientific cruise to the Arctic Ocean. We are very happy that this cruise brings together people from many international research institutions and programs. This expedition will become an important element of the IPY enhancing international cooperation, resulting in shared research infrastructure, updated databases, and fostering of synergy and interdisciplinary dialog. As you may know, the NABOS observations showed that pulses of anomalously warm water entered the Arctic Ocean suggesting that the Arctic Ocean is in transition to a new, warmer state. We are confident that this expedition will provide key information about unprecedented transitions occurring in the Arctic Ocean becoming an important component of the Arctic Observational Network. We hope that your experience in this important year for the polar research will be personally satisfying and become an important milestone in your careers. With best wishes for a successful and enjoyable time during this Arctic voyage. Sincerely, Larry Hinzman Igor Polyakov Director, IARC NABOS Project Leader 5 6 7 List of Participants # Name Position Affiliation Program Country 1 Alexeeva, Tatiana PhD Stud.
