Research (AWI) laid the “foundation stone” for a unique long-term observatory in the partly ice-covered Fram Strait between Greenland and Svalbard, which they call their HAUSGARTEN. The deep-sea observatory

studies at a major long-term monitoring station in the Arctic: the AWI’s Hausgarten observatory in the Fram Strait, where experts from various disciplines are investigating all aspects of the ecosystem, from

impact on the turbulent fluxes. Our first analysis shows only weak impact of clouds over the open Fram Strait during strong convection, but – dependent on the optical thickness of the clouds – moderate

outbreaks over Fram Strait. One of our goals is to compare in situ measurements with satellite measurements and we could manage this week one flight following exactly the track of CloudSat over Fram Strait. This
