Arctic low-level mixed-phase clouds and their complex interactions with aerosol and radiation: Remote sensing of the Arctic troposphere with the shipborne supersite OCEANET-Atmosphere
In the course of this thesis, Arctic low-level mixed-phase clouds and their interaction with aerosol and radiation have been investigated. To do so, measurements with the shipborne remote sensing supersite OCEANET-Atmosphere were conducted during the PS106 expedition in the Arctic summer 2017. OCEAN...
