Photos from MOSAiC Leg 1

Many thank to atmospheric chemist extraordinaire Jessie Creamean for participating in our NSF project on MOSAiC Leg 1. Jessie’s participation allowed us to have a physical presence during the critical setup phase and freeze in. Her participation was a double win; she has her own DOE funded project with MOSAiC that didn’t include ship time, while our project needed a capable hand for Leg 1. I’ll be picking up where she left off when Leg 3 starts in just a couple of weeks. Jessie shared a few photos from Leg 1.

Checking out a crack in the ice. The ice has been much more dynamic than expected, creating some problems for installing the various observational instruments.

Frost flowers! Still a special place in my heart after all these years…
