The POLARCAT project aims to quantify the contribution and impact of trace gases and aerosols transported to the Arctic region. Within the frame of this project, the French ATR-42 research aircraft, equipped particularly with in-situ and remote sensing instrumention, was deployed during 2 measuremen...
