Arctic Summer Cloud Ocean Study

ASCOS was an international field experiment to better understand the atmospheric and chemical processes of how clouds affect the surface energy budget of the pack ice and its melting.

Integrated Characterization of Energy, Clouds, Atmospheric State

ICECAPS is a study to better understand how cloud and atmospheric processes contribute to recent warming and melting in the Arctic. Focus is on clouds, precipitation, and atmospheric structure, all of which are poorly understood over the Greenland Ice Sheet.
