Evaluation of field measurement uncertainty. Calibration of different kind of instruments and sensors. Dedicated calibration procedures. Documented traceability to SI standards. Field measurement uncertainty evaluations.

The Climate Change Tower Integrated Project (CCT-IP) reflects the priorities of Italian Arctic research and aims to investigate the interactions among all components of the Arctic climate system. The Amundsen-Nobile Climate Change Tower (CCT) serves as the project’s central infrastructure, providing continuous measurements of atmospheric parameters at multiple heights and at the critical interface between the surface and the atmosphere. A SPN1 net radiometer, installed at a height of 33 m in 2023, is used to measure the radiation partition between incoming direct and diffuse irradiance. Previously, in 2009, a combination of sensors—including a CNR1 net radiometer at 33 m and CM11 and CG4 sensors at 25 m—was deployed for the same purpose. Radiation data are processed to provide 30-minute averages (μ) and standard deviations (σ), along with derived products such as total net radiation and an indication of sun presence. These data will be available for download. Additionally, 1-minute resolution data are available for download upon request.

Arctic Present Climate Change and Past Extreme Events (ARCA) The data refer to rock magnetic and paleomagnetic measurements taken at a 1-cm spacing on u-channel samples collected from piston cores from the continental platform and slope of the NW Barents Sea. Measurements were carried out in the paleomagnetic laboratory of INGV in Rome, using a superconducting rock magnetometer installed in a magnetically shielded room.

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. Precipitation data (liquid and solid) are obtained from an optical disdrometer (Vaisala FD70). Partly funded by Arctic PASSION project (agreement number 101003472). Data are available under request.

Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) measured by the NOrwegian Institute for Air Research (NILU) at Ny-Alesund between 2002 and 2010 by using a Precision Filter Radiometer (PFR). AOD is provided at 500 nm and alpha in the spectral range (nm) 411.9-862.5.
