This paper serves as a summary of the current thinking regarding the development of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program`s North Slope of Alaska and adjacent Arctic Ocean (NSA/AAO) Cloud and Radiation Testbed (CART) site. The broad rationale for a high latitude (HL) CART site can be summarized as follows: Fundamentally different atmospheric and surface physics are important at high latitudes; High latitudes strongly influence global climate in a number of ways; Interpretation of satellite remote sensing data to obtain the distribution and character of high latitude clouds, snow and sea ice is an important, but poorly solved problem.
