The Arctic region is known to be fragile and small changes in these inputs can have large effects and can be amplified strongly through feedback mechanisms. At the same time, the annual polar light/dark cycle instead of the daily cycle means that the atmosphere reacts differently to changes than does the atmosphere at lower latitudes. And making measurements is difficult because of the harsh environment and sparse measurement locations. However understanding the changing Arctic atmosphere during both the summer and winter is an essential part of understanding the global atmosphere system. This session invites papers on all aspects of the Arctic atmosphere including new instruments, new measurements, new sites, and new modeling efforts, and especially new insights into this complex and important atmospheric system. Session: 2010120 The Changing Arctic Atmosphere - Part 1 L’atmosphère arctique en évolution - Partie 1 26/05/2020 11:00 ID: 10528 Invited session speaker The Potential for a New Era in Arctic Greenhouse Gas, Air Quality and Weather Observations from Space Ray Nassar 1 1 Environment and Climate Change Canada Presented by / Présenté par: Ray Nassar Contact: [email protected] The Arctic is changing and atmospheric observations from space offer new possibilities for observing and monitoring these changes that complement ground-based methods.
