Arctic Climate System Study (ACSYS)

Arctic Climate System Study Mission

The scientific goal of the WCRP's Arctic Climate System Study (ACSYS) project is to ascertain the role of the Arctic in global climate by attempting to find answers to the following related questions:

What are the global consequences of natural or human-induced change in the Arctic climate system?

Is the Arctic climate system as sensitive to increased greenhouse gas concentrations as climate models suggest?

ACSYS ended in December 2003. The ACSYS Final Conference was held in November 2003. For more information about the ACSYS legacy, please visit the conference web (linked to this text).
