Description
Summary:In Ny-Alesund, Svalbard (78.9°N, 11.9°E), the German Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) and the French Polar Institute Paul Emile Victor (IPEV) operate the joint French-German Arctic Research Base AWIPEV. Research at the base covers a broad field of modern polar research, including atmospheric research, marine and terrestrial biology, and cryosphere research, supported by many different measurements, excursions, as well as field expeditions. Prominent examples are atmospheric long term measurements, scientific diving, glacier expeditions, installation of measuring systems in the permafrost and launches of research balloons. We present the AWIPEV longterm observatories contributing to international networks.
