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).

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.

This proposal will focus, by means of a multidisciplinary and well-balanced consortium on eutrophication, contaminants, marine litter and underwater noise descriptors of the MSFD. vertical acquisition in 18 CTD station in Kongsfjorden with water sampling at 2-3 depths (surface, intermediate, bottom)for nutrient and pH analyses of sampled water in the lab. parameters: Pressure, Strain Gauge [db]rnTemperature [IPTS-68, deg C]rnConductivity [mS/cm]rnpHrnOxygen, SBE 43 [ml/l]rnTurbidity, Turner Cyclops [NTU] Pressure, Strain Gauge [db]rnTemperature [IPTS-68, deg C]rnConductivity [mS/cm]rnpHrnOxygen, SBE 43 [ml/l]rnTurbidity, Turner Cyclops [NTU]

Aerosol Biogeochemical cycles, Sources and TRansport processes in the climate-sensitive ArCTic - ABSTRACT Dataset consists in: Aerosol load, Ion, metal, EC/OC measurements on bulk and size-segregated particulate matter at Gruvebadet Observatory (Ny Alesund - Italian Station "Dirigibile Italia") using Aerosol sampling and measurement devices (TECORA ECHO-PM, TECORA Skypost, TECORA HI-VOL, FAI PBL, TSI SMPS, TSI APS - Ion Chromatographs, ICP-AES, Thermo-Optical Analyzer, ICP-MS) Aerosol measurements and sampling. Atmospheric Particle Size Distribution. SMPS (10-500 nm) and APS (0.5-20 um). PM10 aerosol low volume sampling for determination of ions and metals: continuous 24/48h resolution samplings. Multi-stage impactor (Dekati 4-stage: < 1 um - > 10 um) for measurement of ion composition: 4-day resolution sampling. PM10 medium volume sampling for determination of metal content and Pb isotope ratios: 4-d resolution samplings. PM10 on quartz filters for determination of Elemental od Organic Carbon (EC/OC): continuous 24/48 h resolution samplings. PM10 aerosol low volume sampling on PTFE for elemental determination by PIXE technique.

Climate-Cryosphere-Carbon interactions in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard (C3) Use sediment cores as archives of climate-induced destabilizations in the fjord. By targeting well known past climate changes (MWP and LIA) we will understand how the C3 system varied during natural warming and cooling events. Retrieve of two sediment cores in Kongsfjorden, in summer 2017, to encompass the last 1k years.

Isotopic characterisation of arcic ponds Sampling of ponds and surrouding terrestrial envionrment. matter (expressed as ash fry dry matter) and N content as a percentage in soil and lake sediment.

pH tipping point in Svalbard (pHinS) The project is focused on carbonate chemistry in the fjord and measure how meltwater, icebergs and freshwater runoff affects the acidity of coastal seawater. Acquisition of CTD profiles and seawater samples at discrete depths (surface, bottom and 1-3 intermediate depths) to determine pH, total alkalinity, dissolved inorganic carbon, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, dissolved organic carbon. Collection of samples from icebergs and streams to determine the same set of parameters measured in the seawater. Some of the analysis were performed in the laboratory of the “Dirigibile Italia” Arctic station soon after the collection; others will be performed on preserved samples in ISMAR’s laboratories. 62 water column profiles of pressure, Temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity instrument: SBE19plus
