Description | The project proposes measurements campaigns at two coastal sites: Thule Air Base, Greenland, and M. Zucchelli station, Antarctica, employing the same set of instruments and methods. The campaigns will involve ground-based instrumentation operating in the VIS, IR and MW regions, which will provide a comprehensive dataset of atmospheric and cloud parameters. The observations at the two sites will be used as input for radiative transfer calculations, constrained by surface and satellite observations, which will allow the investigation of the role played by different conditions of background condensation nuclei, humidity, and synoptic variability on cloud properties. |
