The Arctic Methane and Permafrost Challenge (AMPAC) is a transatlantic initiative by
NASA and
ESA. The project strives to address key questions related to the Arctic methane cycle in the context of climate change. Activities include synergistic assimilation of measurements, improvement of satellite retrievals with a clear focus on high latitudes, and promoting new dedicated satellite sensors as well as improving validation of existing and upcoming satellite missions. AMPAC-net is a networking activity bringing together experts in remote sensing (terrestrial and atmosphere), in situ measurements in permafrost environments and geospatial data dissemination in order to facilitate
activities encompassing gap analyses, data collection, benchmarking and Bottom-up Top-down synthesis.
