• Hydrometeorological – observing the Arctic atmosphere and hydrosphere • Cryospheric – observing glaciers and permafrost • Environmental pollution control • Geophysical – observing Earth’s magnetosphere, ionosphere and ozonosphere • Biologic – observing the Arctic flora and fauna • Socio-economic – observing people and medicobiologic and socio-economic

aspects associated with their activity

Territorially observation networks can be divided into:•Terrestrial and marine;•High-latitude and arctic (adjacent to Arctic seas);•Regional

Departmentally, the organizations that actually carry out monitoring in the Russian Arctic are primarily as follows: Roshydromet, Russian Academy of Science and administrative-territorial units
