Participating Remotely,
My tasks on MOSAiC
Quantify the water vapor and precipitation isotopes from the Polarstern and an adjoining set of land-based stations surrounding the Arctic Ocean
My biggest challenge
To measure simultaneously, in real time the transport of water vapor within, into and out of the Arctic using advanced technology.
I am most excited about
The complexity of the system, the quiet and the remoteness of the region.
