Polar 5 Flight from Inuvik during PAMARCMiP. The PAMARCMiP (Polar Airborne Measurements and Arctic Regional Climate Model Simulation Project) project was organized around the capacity of the POLAR 5 aircraft to provide unique data of aerosol, trace gases distributions, meteorological and atmospheric conditions, as well as sea ice thickness in a latitude band between about 65 and 90 degrees North. The strategy was to obtain snapshots of critical parameters over a short time period in order to close key gaps in understanding of Arctic conditions and processes. The research flights commenced out of Barrow, Alaska and continued flying Eastbound via Inuvik, Resolute Bay (NWT), Eureka, Alert (Nunavut), Station Nord (Greenland) to Longyearbyen (Svalbard). Measurements were also performed during some of the ferry flights. Photo: Andreas Herber, Alfred Wegener Institute
