Balloon-borne observations and dedicated simulations of the transitions between typical states of the Arctic atmospheric boundary layer (A02)

Global warming is amplified in the Arctic by various feedback processes. One example considers the typically very shallow and stable ABL in the Arctic winter characterized by a pronounced temperature inversion, leading to enhanced warming at the surface. However, the quantification of this so-called lapse rate feedback using actual measurements is lacking. Furthermore, models have major difficulties to correctly represent the shallow ABL and the low-level, distinct temperature inversion and the possible feedback processes. Using tethered balloon measurements at Station Nord in northeast Greenland at the end of winter, we aim to contribute to a better understanding of these processes.
