MOSAiC Arctic Expedition
September 2019 - September 2020

The CAMEE's polar research group is participating in the year-long MOSAiC Arctic expedition via collaboration with Peking University and the Polar Research Institute of China to provide one GNSS-R instrument, along with two similar other GNSS-R from EU countries installed on the ship's deck and different types of sea ice. These will collect snow depth and potentially sea ice thickness data.
