1 17 August 2016: Russian Aircraft Laboratory available for Arctic Environmental Studies A Russian aircraft laboratory is available for scientific use during the Year of Polar Prediction to carry out meteorological investigations such as cloud physics, atmospheric dynamics, or radiation studies. The Russian Central Aerological Observatory (CAO) announces the availability for international scientists to use their aircraft laboratory Roshydromet for various investigations of atmospheric environmental parameters during the Year of Polar Prediction. The plane has a maximum flight level of m and a flight distance of km with a speed range between 350 and 700 km/h. Additional to the crew with three members, up to 14 scientists can operate aboard the Yak-42D. Roshydromet was already deployed in scientific campaigns over the Kara Sea and Polar Ural. Scientific facilities of the aircraft lab include systems to measure thermodynamics and electrical characteristics of the atmosphere, gas and particulate pollutants, radiation, radioactive pollution and microphysical cloud parameters. There are meteorological Doppler radars and a data acquisition system installed on board for data transmission and control of aircraft experiments. Further information on the use of the research aircraft can be found below. For particular queries, please contact the head of CAO s Laboratory of Atmospheric Thermodynamics, Mikhail Strunin Mikhail_strunin@mail.ru. The Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP) is a major international activity that has been initiated by World Meteorological Organization s World Weather Research Programme (WWRP) as a key component of the Polar Prediction Project (PPP). It will take place from mid-2017 to mid The overarching goal of YOPP is to significantly advance our environmental prediction capabilities for the polar regions and beyond. As an internationally coordinated period of intensive observing, modelling, prediction, verification, user-engagement and education activities which involves various stakeholders, the Year of Polar Prediction contributes to the knowledge base needed to managing the opportunities and risks that come with polar climate change.
