“…Instruments that measure trace gas pollutants include the EUMETSAT MetOp‐A and MetOp‐B Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME‐2), NOAA Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS), Canadian Space Agency (CSA)‐NASA Measurements Of Pollution In The Troposphere (MOPITT), and the Dutch‐Finnish Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), which are on polar‐orbiting satellites. Currently, large sources (e.g., smelters, volcanoes, gas flaring; Theys et al, ; Ialongo et al, , ; Schmidt et al, ; Li et al, ; Kashkin et al, ) are detected by these instruments. Figure shows that OMI NO 2 data averaged over a single summer in Finland are noisy, but when averaged over multiple years, the signals of small cities become detectable.…”

Observations taken over the last few decades indicate that dramatic changes are occurring in the Arctic‐Boreal Zone (ABZ), which are having significant impacts on ABZ inhabitants, infrastructure, flora and fauna, and economies. While suitable for detecting overall change, the current capability is inadequate for systematic monitoring and for improving process‐based and large‐scale understanding of the integrated components of the ABZ, which includes the cryosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. Such knowledge will lead to improvements in Earth system models, enabling more accurate prediction of future changes and development of informed adaptation and mitigation strategies. In this article, we review the strengths and limitations of current space‐based observational capabilities for several important ABZ components and make recommendations for improving upon these current capabilities. We recommend an interdisciplinary and stepwise approach to develop a comprehensive ABZ Observing Network (ABZ‐ON), beginning with an initial focus on observing networks designed to gain process‐based understanding for individual ABZ components and systems that can then serve as the building blocks for a comprehensive ABZ‐ON.
