High Arctic is changing very fast and these changes are
important,
both within the region and as their influence propagates out
to lower
latitudes. Using measurements from the Polar Environment
Atmospheric
Research Laboratory (PEARL) at Eureka, Nunavut and
measurements from
other sites around the Arctic and the rest of the globe, the
Probing
the Atmosphere of the High Arctic (PAHA) project – which
involves
many Canadian University researchers - is investigating the
Atmosphere of the Canadian High Arctic using a variety of
instrumentation.</font></font></p>

been in
operation for over 20 years and can obtain measurements of
stratospheric ozone, troposphere and lower stratospheric
