The weather cleared up today and we were able to get out on our first science flight! Here we are at 300ft over the Arctic Ocean north of Svalbard (82°N), over the marginal ice zone – look at those spectacular melt ponds British Antarctic Survey 🐧 Reading Meteorology UEA School of Environmental Sciences

First research flight for Hannah Croad. Too much low cloud to measure low-level fluxes, but good sampling of boundary layer wind shear over marginal ice. With cyclones in the forecasts, she's looking forward to flying again! research.reading.ac.uk/arctic-summert… Reading Meteorology UEA School of Environmental Sciences British Antarctic Survey 🐧

An cyclone is located to the south of Svalbard and the team is getting ready to fly through it. They will take important measurements to understand the structure of a low-level wind maximum associated with it. research.reading.ac.uk/arctic-summert… Reading Meteorology UEA School of Environmental Sciences British Antarctic Survey 🐧 National Centre for Atmospheric Science

Just back from two days of awesome low level flights measuring atmospheric fluxes and ice roughness over the marginal ice zone from Station Nord, only 933km from the North Pole
