Our objectives were to measure the lead signatures by remote sensing, measure emissions and fluxes from leads, determine effects of lead emissions of clouds, and to characterize arctic haze. Our approach was to fly over the pack ice, north of Deadhorse Alaska, detect leads with open water and conduct in situ measurements, sampling and remote sensing measurements. The measurements included determining the concentrations of droplets, ice crystals, and cloud condensation nuclei near leads.
