Integrated Characterization of Energy, Clouds, Atmospheric State, and Precipitation at Summit (ICECAPS)
This award supports a field campaign that will expand the Arctic Observing Network (AON) by adding cloud, atmosphere, and precipitation measurements, and associated higher-order data products, to Summit, Greenland, at the top of the Greenland Ice Sheet. The proposed instrument suite consists of a cl...

Together these products will augment similar data sets that are produced at other locations across the Arctic.
