Abstract in another language
The ISLAS2020 field campaign during February and March 2020 set out to obtain a unique dataset describing the Arctic water cycle using stable water isotope (SWI) observations. Our observation strategy focused on measuring evaporation, deposition, and precipitation, all of which are commonly sub-grid scale processes in numerical weather and climate models. Uncertain parameterizations for these processes can lead to compensating errors, which can go unnoticed; however, evaporation and precipitation can also be investigated with SWIs, as they are an integrated tracer for processes that atmospheric moisture has undergone. The campaign can be divided into two efforts: the primary field experiment in Ny-Ålesund focused on evaporation and deposition, and the larger precipitation collection network around the Nordic Seas.
