AGAP: an atmospheric gondola for aerosol profiling
A novel airborne gondola was developed to profile the Arctic boundary layer exploiting a tethered balloon system. A number of aerosol instrumentations were customized and deployed in the gondola for two test campaigns conducted in Ny-Ålesund in September 2014 and April–May 2015. The performances of...
