Coming to the end of an incredible 4 weeks in Happy Valley-Goose Bay for the #MPhase measurement campaign, where I’ve been taking #aerosol samples on the @faam146 aircraft. This project is part of @CloudSenseNERC, aiming to reduce uncertainty in climate sensitivity. – at Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador

Apply now for a funded PhD with the @EPSRC #CDT in #AerosolScience. If you aspire to work in multidisciplinary teams and have an academic background in physical, environmental, health sciences or engineering we want to hear from you! aerosol-cdt.ac.uk/2023-proje… #phdstudentship
A team of scientists have embarked on a flight campaign over the Labrador Sea to study how clouds form and develop in cold air. The four-week campaign with @FAAM146 will look specifically at clouds that contain both ice and water particles. ncas.ac.uk/flight-campaign-t…

The Leeds #MPhase team depart, next stop Halifax (not the Yorkshire one) and then another 2 hrs north to the town they call Happy Valley. The @faam146 en-route (overnighted in Azores).
