Clouds play an important role in Arctic amplification. This term represents the recently
observed enhanced warming of the Arctic relative to the global increase of near-surface air …

Two airborne field campaigns focusing on observations of Arctic mixed-phase clouds and
boundary layer processes and their role with respect to Arctic amplification have been …

The important roles that the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) plays in the central Arctic
climate system have been recognized, but the atmospheric boundary layer height (ABLH) …

Low-level mixed-phase clouds (MPCs) are common in the Arctic. Both local and large-scale
phenomena influence the properties and lifetime of MPCs. Arctic fjords are characterized by …

How air masses transform during meridional transport into and out of the Arctic is not well
represented by numerical models. The airborne field campaign HALO-(AC) 3 applied the …

The concept of cloud radiative forcing (CRF) is commonly applied to quantify the impact of
clouds on the surface radiative energy budget (REB). In the Arctic, specific radiative …

Abstract The Arctic CLoud Observations Using airborne measurements during polar Day
(ACLOUD) campaign was carried out north-west of Svalbard (Norway) between 23 May and …

Mixed‐phase clouds are ubiquitous in the Arctic and play a critical role in Earth's energy
budget at the surface and top‐of‐the‐atmosphere. These clouds typically occupy the lower …

Most Arctic clouds occur below 2 km altitude, as revealed by CloudSat satellite observations.
However, recent studies suggest that the relatively coarse spatial resolution, low sensitivity …

From 25 May to 21 July 2017, the research vessel Polarstern performed the cruise PS106 to
the high Arctic in the region north and northeast of Svalbard. PS106 contributed …
