Description
Summary:	This work describes the operational geographic information system - Arctic portal - developed at the Satellite Oceanography Laboratory of the Russian State Hydrometeorological University and a new, created with this instrument, database of the Polar lows (PL) and less intensive mesocyclones (MC) observed over the entire Arctic region for the period of 2017-2018. The database is created by the synergistic use of satellite data of spectral and microwave radiometers and scatterometers implemented in the Arctic portal allowing most reliable PL and MC identification. This database presents a complicated structure of PL and MC parameters for the whole period of their lifetime. The database is of particular interest as it covers not only the Northern seas, but also the Eastern sector of the Russian Arctic, where PL events are poorly investigated, and where the formation of the MCs has become possible due to recent sea ice retreat.
