Published purpose

This project will collect measurements of the trace gases, aerosol particles and clouds present in the atmosphere over Eureka, Nunavut (80N, 86W) in 2025-2027 using instruments based at the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL). The campaign period will primarily focus on spring deployments each year. The measurements collected over these campaigns will be used to verify and assess the accuracy of two Canadian satellite missions that are monitoring Earth's atmosphere: the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) on SCISAT and the Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imager System (OSIRIS) instrument on Odin.
