72N to 72S: Adventures with Polar Cloud Radars

Speaker: ryan neely

Chair(S): Wuhu feng, Scott osprey

wednesday 18th june , 13:00-14:00

ABSTRACT

Since 2010, I have been exploring the polar atmospheres with radars. This has mostly been focused on observations made at Summit, Greenland (72N) with the ICECAPS project. Recently, I have been involved in the setup of the Integrated Cloud Observatory (72S) with the Troll Observing Network (TONe). I will review what we have learned and accomplished at Summit and provide a first look at the exciting opportunity the new observations at Troll represent. I will reflect on how technology and ways of working between the start of these projects and what that means for us as a field moving forward. Finally, I will give a quick overview of an exciting new project that aims to push the bounds of what it means to be a mobile cloud observatory.

A regular series of streamed online seminars.  The aim of the seminar series is to offer easy-to-access and interactive online seminars designed to share latest thinking and good practice, and exchange ideas, tools and processes. We envisage the seminar series will become an exciting vehicle that helps to encourage free flowing dialogue and collaboration right across the NCAS community. Seminars can have a science focus or be used to share anything that may be of professional interest to the NCAS community.

Seminars will take place every other Wednesday at 13:00.  Seminars are hosted on Google Meet to join follow the link
