Project Status• Cloud macrophysical property data sets
Cloud occurrence fraction and boundariesBarrow, Atqasuk, Eureka, Alert, Summit, Ny’Alesund,
SHEBACurrently in QA/QC
• Cloud microphysical property data sets Water content & particle size for liquid and iceSHEBA and Barrow underwayEureka in future
• Studies1) What is a Cloud?2) Cloud occurrence across the Arctic Basin3) Arctic liquid water clouds

Coordination and Integration
•Programmatic Coordination (objectives, data sharing):IASOA, NOAA, DOE ARM, CANDAC
•Scientific Coordination (data sharing and research):Ed Eloranta (U. Wisc), cloud identificationPavlos Kollias (McGill), cloud identificationDavid Turner (U. Wisc), cloud microphysicsMasataka Shiobara (NIPR, Japan), Ny’Alesund observationsSandy Starkweather (Polar Field), Summit observations
•Satellite Community (intercomparisons):U. Wisc PEATE – Cloud propertiesCloudSat/Calipso – Cloud fraction and phase
•Model Community (evaluation):ERA40, NARR via collaborations with NOAA, U. Colorado
