The Lower Atmosphere above Svalbard (LAS): Observed long-term trends, small-scale processes and the surface exchange
This is chapter 7 of the State of Environmental Science in Svalbard (SESS) report 2018 (https://sios-svalbard.org/SESS_Issue1). The lower atmosphere is where clouds and atmospheric particles interact with sunlight and infrared radiation, ultimately driving the heating and cooling of the surface. The...
