The Arctic Ocean Regional Alliance (ArORA) Task Team was formed in February 2023 to lead a process that results in an Arctic GOOS Regional Alliance or similarly structured organisation. The Task Team and the process it co-develops are formally recognised by both Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks (SAON) and the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS).
