In so doing, improve environmental prediction globally via improved process representation and polar/mid-latitude linkages.\r\n\r\nThe FAAM BAe-146 aircraft was detached on a field campaign (~3 week detachment to Fairbanks, Alaska, during March 2018)  to obtain novel observations from the Arctic of surface emissivity over snow & sea ice; surface and boundary-layer processes over snow & sea ice; cloud microphysics over & downwind of sea ice; and orographic flows & their leeside impacts.  Targets are snow emissivity in conjunction with satellite overpasses and ground-based measurements of snow properties over land and sea ice; Boundary Layer and surface exchange processes over sea-ice and the marginal-ice-zone; clouds, aerosols and radiative impacts on energy balance; orographic flows and gravity waves from the Brooks or Alaska mountain ranges;","keywords":"MACSSIMIZE, clouds, aerosol, FAAM","status":"ongoing","publicationState":"published","identifier_set":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/identifiers/9556/?format=json"],"observationCollection":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/observationcollections/26331/?format=json"],"parentProject":null,"subProject":[],"responsiblepartyinfo_set":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/102980/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/102982/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/102976/?format=json","https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/102978/?format=json"]}
