2 researchers, 8-12 November 3442 Greenhouse gas observation at Ny-Ålesund 10027 In-situ measurements of the atmospheric greenhouse gases at Ny-Ålesund
1 researcher, 10-14 November 6443 A preliminary study for ground validation of EarthCARE products at the polar sites 1 researcher, 22-29 December 6420 Observational study on effects of Arctic Haze on ice cloud formation
1 researcher, 5-23 January 6955 Observational study on the volatility of aerosol in the arctic winter upper troposphere and lower stratosphere
2. Upper atmospheric science 4 researchers, 14-17 November 10084 C-REX Sounding Rocket Mission This project will photograph from several locations on Svalbard the wind-driven motion of tracer clouds deployed from a sounding rocket into the upper atmosphere at 150 to 400 km altitude above the Greenland Sea. The objective is to understand why the upper atmosphere has a persistent density enhancement in this region.

Earth CARE: Earth Clouds, Aerosols, and Radiation Explorer
EarthCARE is an earth observation satellite that Japan and Europe have been jointly developing. Using its four sensors (Cloud Profiling Radar, Backscatter Lidar, Multi-Spectral Imager and Broadband Radiometer), clouds and aerosols (small particles like dust and dirt that exist in the earth's atmosphere) will be observed on a global scale to improve the accuracy of climate change predictions.
With the EarthCARE mission, observations will be carried out on the distribution of cloud particles and aerosols in a vertical direction and so on. Ny-Ålesund is one of the important observation sites.
The satellite will be launched at the end of this year.

Strengthening of cloud observation
1. New cloud radar (FALCON-A) has been installed in September
2. Fog monitor has been installed at Zeppelin mountain
3. Setting up cloud particle observation with AWI
Why are Arctic radiosonde data important ?
Northern Sea RouteArctic cyclones frequently pass→ high waves, strong winds, icing etc.
disturbing the ship navigations
Improving the predictability of numerical weather preditions => more radiosonde data are useful expanding the Arctic observing network evaluating the data impact by data assimilation proposing a future observing network
Icing on Mirai’s anemometer
Data sparse area
Additional soundings at a ship and land stations
