| Summary: | <!--!introduction!--> The phenomenon of Arctic Amplification is most evident in the rise of the near-surface air temperature observed in the last decades being at least twice as strong as the global average. The mechanisms behind that are widely discussed. Many processes and their feedback mechanisms are still poorly understood, especially considering the role of clouds. To increase the understanding of such processes and to improve their representation in models, direct observations are needed, but are barely available. Within the research initiative "Arctic Amplification: Climate relevant atmospheric and surface processes and feedback mechanisms (AC)3", several airborne campaigns aimed to provide observations of clouds and precipitation by state-of-the-art remote sensing instruments. Within this contribution, we will present measurements and datasets from the remote sensing suite operated onboard the Polar 5 research aircraft of the Alfred-Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) during ... : The 28th IUGG General Assembly (IUGG2023) (Berlin 2023) ... |
