Map of entire route. Yellow lines = commercial. Dark lines = surveys.

There are many people who should be acknowledged for this team effort. Please let me know if I have missed anyone.

    Team Icebird24. (from left to right) Jeff, Dwayne, Alan, Kyle, Martin Richard, Nils, Christian and Arttu   Day 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. Preparing for, and departing from the Polar 5 and Icebird 24 campaign. Day 20 (Sunday 28th April) was a prep and packing day. First up: the corner reflector. There is always a bit of a risk when you leave gear in cold, icy and windswept landscapes for a few days (or more) that it a) blows away, b) is eaten or c) both a) and b). Luckily, the corner reflector remained intact and fcaing due west as we left it a few days before.   Jeff and Nils happy that the corner reflector remained intact. Second;: dismantling and packing up the CryoSAR hardware. This was expertly completed by Dwayne, the aircraft mechanic / engineer who pays attention to the weight and balance equation of the survey aircraft. When equipment is installed or removed, it is essential that the aircraft is complaint and correctly balanced so that there is no threat to t...

Welcome to the Arctic 2024 campaign

Welcome to the Icebird and CryoSAR Canadian High Arctic 2024 campaign blog. We are group of scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute (or AWI) in Germany, the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), and the University of Waterloo (UW) in Canada, interested in the science of snow and ice. Our expertise lies at the interface of geophysics, physical geography, physics and engineering and our science has implications for our understanding of the cryosphere (all places where water is frozen) and its impact on climate change. This campaign, called Icebird-CAN24, focuses on observing snow and ice using remote sensing observations mounted on an aircraft. The photo above is the Polar 5 AWI research aircraft , a reconditioned 1943 DC-3 which is used for Arctic and Antarctic observation science. The goal of this campaign is to observe the Arctic cryosphere at different places in Canada from the Polar 5 using state of the art measurements: AWI's wideban...
