2 Period of operations:

3 Domain of operations:

4 Why we are operating NPs?: 1) [the only site of] yearround comprehensive/complex measurements in the Arctic Basin 2) More flexible and friendly for measurents in comparison with shipborne sites 3) Source of various data for validation of numerical modelled / reanalysis parameters 4) Complements network of drifting buoys 5) Other.. Estimation of reliability of NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data on air temperatures and total cloudiness
