EarthCARE cross section of radar reflectivity for the segment of collocation with #Polar5. The circle shows the reflectivity signal of the aircraft.
Yesterday was another very good day for #COMPEX. We had a flight fully dedicated to #EarthCARE and a perfect rendez-vous over cumulus with some precipitation in a cold air outbreak.🧪 #remotesensing #AC3 #Svalbard @unicologne.bsky.social

It's another day for #EarthCARE during #COMPEX. RF08 will bring us on #Polar5 to the South-West of #Svalbard where we try to collocate with #EarthCARE again.. 🧪 #remotesensing #AC3 #Svalbard @unicologne.bsky.social

🚨 TOXIC TAP: In Svalbard, water manganese is 20x the safety limit.
Why? The Arctic warms 4x faster, triggering "natural fracking."
What happens in the Arctic doesn't stay there.

Svenske forskere mener at forholdet mellom forskning og turisme på Svalbard er tett sammenvevd og er to sider av samme sak.

I never expected that the first, and so far only, wild bear I would ever see was a white one. #WorldBearDay from 2022, #Svalbard
Unfortunately, we had to cancel the #EarthCARE underflight due to a probability of low visibility at Longyearbyen airport for the arrival time. Up here, you're not flying out on a maybe. 🧪 #remotesensing #AC3 #Svalbard

Quicklook from the Ny-Ålesund radar for the day the aircraft was flying above with two radars. Overpass was during the early afternoon.
RF04 was on sublimation processes around #NyAlesnd. Tomorrow, we're heading for our first #EarthCARE collocation of #COMPEX. We hope to find the clouds the models predict for the target region.🧪 #remotesensing #AC3 #Svalbard

Absolutely love my veranda life on Svalbard.

If you only knew the pure magical feeling of having some snow again and sun and no wind and hopefully have some nice outdoors moments after weeks with heavy wind and indoor weather. #thedoctorandthemechanic #svalbard #outdoor #love #veranda

The approach to LYR at the end of our 3. research flight of #COMPEX reminded us why we do Arctic cloud research. None of the models had the amount of liquid in the clouds we found in the forecast. 🧪 #remotesensing #AC3 #Svalbard

A study @commsearth.nature.com report on trawling and fisheries echosounder surveys in the central #Arctic Ocean. Very little pelagic fish observed and none caught between 82N and the #NorthPole. In contrast to catches in the warmer Atlantic waters near #Svalbard. See: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
A passenger ship from RU was welcomed to the #Norwegian archipelago of #Svalbard w/ a giant #Soviet flag hoisted atop a coal-loading crane in the port. Arktikugol, Moscow’s state-owned mining company at Svalbard, chose to do so, w/out an explanation.
On board were miners, their families...
