WINTER-CZ
Winter Critical Zone dynamics in the High Arctic
WINTER-CZ (Winter Critical Zone dynamics in the High Arctic: measuring carbon fluxes and geo-biological processes at the Bayelva Critical Zone Observatory during winter) is a project funded by the Arctic Research Programme (PRA) INFRA 2021. It is aimed at upgrading the existing CNR research infrastructure for the measurement of CO2 fluxes from the tundra in Ny Ålesund, Svalbard. WINTER-CZ focuses on the measurement and modelling of CO2 emissions from the arctic soil through the snowpack during winter and how their dynamic is influenced by the environmental conditions.

The installation of the monitoring station for the WINTER-CZ project as been completed. It will upgrade the CNR research infrastructure of the arctic base “Dirigibile Italia”. The first data acquisition campaign will start between autumn and winter, with the first snowfalls. The station, designed to be partially covered by the snow, has the goal to… Read more: Completed the installation and the testing of the montoring station
