Snow and surface characteristics are monitored by CNR at the Climate Change Tower in Ny-Alesund. Partly funded by Arctic PASSION project (agreement number 101003472).

Aerosol Flux in Arctic (ALFA) Evaluate aerosol dry deposition/emission in the Arctic on icy/snowy surface and its dependence on particle size and micrometeorological parameters. The measures of the particles exchange rate will be carried out with the technique of eddy-correlation at Ny Alesund in size-segregated mode (2-3000 nm) coupling a sonic anemometer, a CPC and an optical particle counter (OPC) that are able to detect fluctuations of the particles concentration at high frequency (1Hz).

Study of the noise generated by glaciers for quantification of geo-physical processes, wide band frequency acoustic recorders will be placed in the Kongsfjorden during the spring-autumn period. Moreover, the biological sound will be also collected and the interacting with the geo-physical and anthropogenic sounds will be evaluated. Instrument : SM2U.

ISotopic and physical-chemical MOnitoring of GLACial drainages and sea water in the Ny-Ålesund area (Svalbard) The dataset includes vertical profiles of physical-chemical performed on-site in different sites along the fjord in Kongsfjorden.

Atmospheric Gondola for Aerosol Profiles (AGAP) The scientific goals of AGAP are to develop novel aerosol payloads and evaluate the vertical distribution of aerosol properties in the Arctic Boundary Layer. Dataset consists in Aerosol vertical profiles gridded at a 50 m spatial resolution: R, T, P, RH, Aerosol size distribution, BC concentration, O3. Maximum altitudes 1500 m.

Monitoring of Aerosol: Short and Long range source areas related to Climate Change (MAShLoCC) During the Arctic campaign 2010, an atmospheric aerosol sampling at the Gruvebadet observatory has been carried out in order to obtain information about the formation and composition of atmospheric aerosol, transport processes toward the Arctic zone as well as local and remote source areas. Instrument : ICP-SFMS, IRMS, Orbitrap

RIS: 11028 Spatial Distributions of Black Carbon and Mineral Dust in Air and Snow Surface Layers upon Svalbard Glaciers (BC-3D) Project Start: 2018-03-01 End: 2020-06-30 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 gridded at a 50 m spatial resolution: R, T, P, RH, Aerosol size distribution, BC concentration. Maximum altitudes 1500 m.

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.

Atmospheric Gondola for Aerosol Profiles (AGAP) Developing novel aerosol payloads and evaluate the vertical distribution of aerosol properties in the Arctic Boundary Layer. 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, O3. Maximum altitudes 1500 m.
