Ruth MottramWhen working hard in the field, don't forget to admire the view occasionally. You might see a halo around the sun (and a little crooked horizon ...).
Today we set up Snow station Q at the old ionospheric observatory in Qaanaaq
This is a bit of a pilot project, supported by DMI's national centre for climate research, that I hope will become longer term.
Snow processes are incredibly important for nearly all parts of the cryosphere, there also often neglected in weather and climate models (though that's starting to change). So data from a dry high Arctic site like Qaanaaq is really valuable.
