Mesoscale atmospheric processes over an Arctic fjord as observed during a research aircraft campaign in winter

Unique research aircraft observations were conducted within an Arctic fjord in Svalbard during three days in March 2013. Wijdefjorden is 110 km long, 5–15 km wide and has a north–south axis. Two-thirds of the fjord were covered by land-fast sea ice, but the northern part of the fjord was open. On tw...
