The automated nivological station was installed in November 2020 in a flat area over the tundra about 80 meters far from the Gruvebadet Atmospheric Laboratory and nearby a snow sampling site from where weekly snow samples are collected for chemical analysis. Sensors (Pt100 1/3 DIN) have been calibrated by their companies before installation and are connected to a datalogger for continuous acquisition. For all the parameters, data are logged with 10-minute time resolution and then averaged over 1 hour. This activity is carried out by the Aldo Pontremoli Centre part of the Joint Research Agreement ENI-CNR, in the framework of the SnowCorD project (SIOS Core Data).

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.

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).

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.

High-Latitude Aurora Activity Monitor by means of an automatised digital camera, recording all-sky images in the 630.0 nm (red), 557.7 nm (green) and 427.8 nm (blue) wavelengths. The camera is operated by INAF (Italian National Institute of Astrophysics) and contributes to the international network MIRACLE (https://space.fmi.fi/MIRACLE/), with instruments distributed along the Scandinavia and the Svalbard. The camera started operating in November 1999, when it was located on the roof of the French building (Lat = 78° 55' 20" N, Lon = 11° 56' 02" E). In November 2015 the instrument was moved to the Sensitive Lights Cabin (Lat = 78° 56' 28.2" N, Lon = 11° 50' 31.7" E, Elev. = 28 m). The Instrument was then updated in 2017 with a new cooled CMOS camera, which replaced the old CCD camera + image intensifier.

ISotopic and physical-chemical MOnitoring of GLACial drainages and sea water in the Ny-Ålesund area (Svalbard) (ISMOGLAC) Sampling and in-situ measurements on snow and water, performed into both Kongsfjorden and glacial streams that originate in supraglacial, englacial and subglacial zones of different glaciers (Midtre Lovenbreen, Austre broggerbreen, Vestre Broggerbreen, Kongsvegen). Dataset concerns water isotopes signature of snow and Kongsfjorden water and physical-chemical data of the latter.
