Synoptic development during the ACLOUD/PASCAL field campaign near Svalbard in spring 2017
Abstract. The two concerted field campaigns Arctic CLoud Observations Using airborne measurements during polar Day (ACLOUD) and the Physical feedbacks of Arctic planetary boundary level Sea ice, Cloud and AerosoL (PASCAL) took place near Svalbard from 23 May to 26 June 2017. They were focused on studying Arctic mixed-phase clouds and involved observations from two airplanes (ACLOUD), an icebreaker (PASCAL), as well as surface-based stations, a tethered balloon, and satellites. Here, we present the synoptic development during the 35 day period of the campaigns, using classical near-surface and upper-air meteorological observations, as well as operational satellite and model data. Over the ca…
Meteorological conditions during the ACLOUD/PASCAL field campaign near Svalbard in early summer 2017
Abstract. The two concerted field campaigns, Arctic CLoud Observations Using airborne measurements during polar Day (ACLOUD) and the Physical feedbacks of Arctic planetary boundary level Sea ice, Cloud and AerosoL (PASCAL), took place near Svalbard from 23 May to 26 June 2017. They were focused on studying Arctic mixed-phase clouds and involved observations from two airplanes (ACLOUD), an icebreaker (PASCAL) and a tethered balloon, as well as ground-based stations. Here, we present the synoptic development during the 35-day period of the campaigns, using near-surface and upper-air meteorological observations, as well as operational satellite, analysis, and reanalysis data. Over the campaign…
