[{"name":"oden-ascos-2008-expedition-3","title":"Data from expedition ASCOS, Arctic Ocean, 2008","summary":"The ASCOS (Arctic Summer Cloud Ocean Study) expedition was carried out during summer 2008 in high-latitude areas in the Arctic Ocean.\r\n\r\nWith the Swedish icebreaker Oden serving as the research platform, a range of scientific investigations were made. The main target was to study the formation and life cycle of low-altitude Arctic clouds in the central Arctic. The expedition was interdisciplinary and covered observations of the physics and chemistry of the atmosphere and the upper ocean, meteorology, cloud microphysics and aerosols and upper-ocean biogeochemistry. High-resolution bathymetry is also available.\r\n\r\nThe expedition started and ended in Longyearbyen on Svalbard, Norway, and lasted from Augst 1 to September 9, 2008.","citations":"Tjernstr\u00f6m, M. et al. 2014.

ASCOS was likely the largest single Arctic Ocean atmospheric effort during the IPY and was endorsed under the AICI-IPY umbrella under SOLAS.\r\n\r\n###### Principal investigators\r\n* Michael Tjernstr\u00f6m and Caroline Leck, Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University, Sweden\r\n\r\nSee more information at the [Swedish Polar Research Secretariat](https:\/\/polarforskningsportalen.se\/en\/arctic\/expeditions\/ascos).\r\n\r\n#### Version history\r\n\r\n##### Version 3\r\nHigh-resolution bathymetry data added and collection harmonized with other expeditions in the Oden data repository.\r\n\r\n##### Version 2\r\nSame data as in version 1, but structured as a collection of 27 individually published datasets.\r\n\r\n##### Version 1\r\nInitial release.
