Homogenized Tethered Balloon record at station Ny-Ålesund, Spitsbergen in 2018 The scientific goals of BC-3D are to evaluate the distribution of Black Carbon and Mineral Dust in the first layers of atmosphere and surface snow over targeted Svalbard glaciers in order to identify the mechanisms of the air/snow exchanges also assisted by model predictions to provide the full 3D picture. Aerosol vertical profiles by tethered balloon: Aerosol vertical profiles gridded at a 50 m spatial resolution: R, T, P, RH, Aerosol size distribution, BC concentration. Maximum altitudes 1500 m.

Ultraviolet Irradiance Variability in the Arctic U-VIVA Dataset contains results of the observed at 4 Svalbard stations ozone depletion episode that took place in the spring 2020 and its effect on the ultraviolet solar radiation reaching the ground. The ozone column was registered by Brewer #050 spectroradiometer, GUV and UV-RAD filter radiometers all operating in Ny-Ålesund, and by M-124 ozonometer working in Barentsburg. The solar radiation in UV-B, UV-A and erythemal UVE spectral bands that are impacted by the ozone column was measured by GUV and UV-RAD radiometers at Ny-Ålesund and, by UVS-E-T and UVS-AE-T Kipp & Zonen radiometers operating in Longyearbyen and Hornsund, respectively. An analysis of the data is presented in the 2021 SESS report published by Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS).

Ice Nuclei Particle Concentration (INPAIR) INPAIR Svalbard' Chemistry and Physics of the Atmosphere: Ice nucleating particle (INPs) concentration obtained in spring and summer campaigns in the Arctic Region. Measurements of INPs concentrations and activation fraction of aerosol in Arctic (e.g. Gruvebadet observatory in Ny-Ãlesund). b) Correlating INPs concentration with meteorological parameters and physicochemical characterisations. Instrument: PM1 and PM10 sampling lines. DFPC chamber

Terrestrial Photography ApplicationS on Snow covEr in Svalbard (PASSES) Evolution of the fractional snow cover in the Broggerdalen area using ground-based cameras located at the Climate Change Tower. Development of a new snow product focused on the estimation of the fraction of snow cover in selected sites at different spatial resolutions. All the available data obtained from public repositories such as the digital elevation model of Svalbard, the webcam imageries in Svalbard and satellite products from Landsat, Sentinel and MODIS missions, will be integrated in order to estimate the fraction of snow cover, at different spatial resolutions, for each satellite mission, computed at different sites in Svalbard islands.

Aerosol size distribution (>500 nm) measured by a SMPS 3321 (TSI).

The Climate Change Tower Integrated Project (CCT-IP) represents the guide lines of the italian research in the arctic and aims to study the interaction between all the components of the climate system in the Arctic. The Amundsen-Nobile Climate Change Tower (CCT) is the key infrastructure of the project, and provides continuous acquisition of the atmospheric parameters at different heights as well as at the interface between the surface and the atmosphere. Images of the sky are taken every 15 minutes and are available under request.

ISotopic and physical-chemical MOnitoring of GLACial drainages and sea water in the Ny-Ålesund area (Svalbard) The project concerns an isotopic and physical-chemical monitoring of inland glacial drainages and ocean water into Kongsfjorden. It is aimed at defining the dynamic processes of the glacial melting and evaluating the consequent transfers of fresh water towards the Arctic Ocean. The dataset includes the continuous measurements (1 data/15 min) performed during summer season by a CTD diver. Parameter: Temperature, electical conductivity, water level.

DOC fractionation: dynamic of POPs and trace metals Arctic DOC (ArcticDOC) The sampling design is projected to cover almost five sampling points in the Kongsfjorden. The sampling of surface water (approximately 100 liters for each sampling point) and sediment are aimed at the determination of persistent and emerging contaminants: POPs PFAS, CUPs, PPCPs, endocrine disruptors such as nonylphenols and bisphenol A. At the same time, with tangential-flow ultrafiltration, dissolved organic matter (DOM) will be characterized according to size fractions (colloidal and truly dissolved) and the distribution of contaminants associated to these fractions will be evaluated.
