As a supplement to the Bulletin, its foremost function is to document the status and trajectory of many components of the climate system. However, as a series, the report also documents the status and trajectory of our capacity and commitment to observe the climate system. This chapter, on the Arctic, covers surface air temperature, precipitation, sea-surface temperature, sea ice, the Greenland ice sheet, Arctic river discharge, permafrost, tundra greenness, and ozone and UV radiation.
