Paul ZiegerHere is a little video from the European #XFEL and the #SQS beamline, where we are finally measuring sea spray particles with Arctic sea water collected during #ARTofMELT2023. This is a fantastic facility with a great team and excellent support. Can't wait to see and discuss results!
Check out this cool article in Spektrum der Wisseenschaften (in German) about our recent expedition #ARTofMELT2023 on board the Swedish icebreaker #Oden 👇https://www.spektrum.de/news/arktis-expedition-auf-der-jagd-nach-dem-schmelzenden-eis/2161062 #Polarforschung #Arktis #Klima #Aerosole #Wolken

Gratuitous polar bear photo, just because! 😁
We saw a lot of polar bears on this expedition.

Inadvertent measurement of the albedo of a polar bear...this is worth a Nature paper, right?

The radiometers (solar and infrared) that make up the other half of our surface energy budget measurements. And another beautiful day on the ice.

Back in what passes for civilization after 6 weeks offline in the Arctic Ocean (well, Fram Strait anyway). Currently on a train somewhere in Germany, en route home, and in need of distractions to pass the time, so...
Here's me and fab post-doc Heather, first day on the ice, scouting out a location for the instrumentation. Icebreaker Oden in the background.
TU BraunschweigMit dem Eisbrecher "Oden" ist die #Klima-Expedition #ArtOfMelt2023 zu Beginn der Schmelzsaison in die #Arktis aufgebrochen. Dabei sind auch Wissenschaftler der #TUBraunschweig. Sie untersuchen u.a. mit der Helikoptersonde HELiPOD Warmluft-Einbrüche in die Arktis und den Zusammenhang mit dem Schmelzen des Meereises.
