 nd coordination of long-term observations aimed at improving understanding 
 of and response to system-scale Arctic change. The AOS is an international 
 forum for optimizing resource allocation, and minimizing gaps and duplicati
 on, through coordination of and exchange among researchers, agencies, Indig
 enous Peoples, non-governmental organizations, the private sector and other
 s involved or interested in long-term observing activities. The AOS serves 
 as a platform to identify and address societal and scientific needs and pri
 orities, minimize gaps in data and information, reduce duplication, improve
