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

Meanwhile back at the hotel, I'm in our INP lab, pippetting 2 microlitre droplets (there are 500000 of them in a litre!) onto a teflon filter and then videoing it cooling down until they are all frozen...
First #MPhase science mission departed Goose Bay, mainly a full shakedown flight with some aerosol sampling opportunities along the way. Forecast not great, southerly flows rather than the desired Cold Air Outbreak flows from the north. 1/2
