Adrian arrived to the #DomeC station in #Antarctica where he will be investigating small diamond dust particles for the next month in collaboration with @CNR_INO
Summer temperatures at the Antarctic plateau are chilly -30 to -50°C
Talk about cool ❄️science! #phdlife

Meet Adrian and the new PHIPS-POL. Both in protective clothing against the cold 🥶. We have the unique opportunity to test our airborne instruments in our AIDA cloud chamber, where temperatures down to -70 degC can be reached. Stay tuned how it went #phdlife

We had a lot of fun in Berlin at the #IUGG where Adrian and Shawn presented their #PhDwork on ice crystal optical properties ❄️

Wine and bullet rosettes. Shawn is presenting his poster at the ELS conference in Spain 🇪🇸

[ag-aircraft @AgAircraft]

Shawn is having a great time discussing bullet rosette shaped ice crystals at the #egu2023 #phdlife

[ag-aircraft @AgAircraft]

Are you visiting #egu2023 this year? Interested in ❄️?
Check out Shawn's poster on Wednesday at 4 pm!

It is easy to smile after a successful poster session with many lively discussions. Thanks for everyone who dropped in! #egu2023 #ArcticClouds #PosterSession

Can ice crystals suffer from chickenpox? 🐔⠝
These sectored plates have gathered light riming, which changes both their appearance and radiative properties.
Ice crystals from #IMPACTS2023 RF05.

This little capped column has a sectored plate on the other side and a normal plate on the other. Ventilation?

Measured during #IMPACTS2023 RF03 over upstate New York.

Meet our @helmholtz_en funded research group! We’re at @NASA_Wallops making sure that @SnowIMPACTS investigators get a detailed view on ice crystals microphysics and to do some cool science ourselves and get data for three #PhD theses! #AirborneScience

[ag-aircraft @AgAircraft]

We introduce a method to constrain the optical scattering models of natural ice crystals based on in-situ measurements, reducing uncertainty and providing valuable info about ice crystal morphology. #IceCrystal #OpticalScattering #ClimateStudies

The P-3 likes to show off on the runway 😎 Another instrument calibration flight in the books as we look towards a late week storm in NY and southern Canada @NASA_Wallops

[ag-aircraft @AgAircraft]

At some point of one’s PhD you need to get face to face with your instrument #phdlife

[ag-aircraft @AgAircraft]

Super excited to have arrived to Wallops for the #IMPACTS2023 campaign! Waiting for some #CoolData of ❄️

[ag-aircraft @AgAircraft]

Here we go again again! Excited to start the final phase of #IMPACTS2023

[IMPACTS @SnowIMPACTS]

There was no flight on our first official day for #IMPACTS2023 but we learned lots about the instruments on the P-3!

Check out our newest paper on ice crystals and their formation in secondary ice processes in the Southern Ocean.

[Emma Järvinen @JaervinenEmma]

Very excited to finally see this huge collaborative effort online!

Combining in-situ measurements at the Southern Ocean, new method to detect small ice, ice nucleating particle measurements and instrument simulator approach to the CAM model #CloudScience
