The international research campaign COMPEX (Clouds over complex environment) is kicking off with Polar 5 measurement flights over the Arctic and will investigate the properties of clouds over sea ice that cannot be detected by satellites. Since clouds play a central role in the climate of the polar region, the results will help scientists understand why this region is warming particularly rapidly compared to the rest of the world. The University of Cologne is leading the research campaign. To the original press release.
