Network on Climate and Aerosols: Addressing Key Uncertainties in Remote Canadian Environments (NETCARE)

NETCARE is a network comprised of researchers from ten Canadian universities (University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, Université du Québec à Montréal, University of Waterloo, Université du Québec à Rimouski, Laval University, Dalhousie University, University of Calgary, Université de Sherbrooke, University of Victoria) and five partner institutions (Environment and Climate Change Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Alfred Wegener Institute, Max Planck Institute, and Johannes Gutenberg University). The group has focused on four major research areas that address key uncertainties in climate-aerosol interactions in remote Canadian environments: Carbonaceous Aerosol, Ice Cloud Formation and Impacts, Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions, and Implications of Measurements on Simulations of Atmospheric Processes and Climate. To address these issues NETCARE undertook several major research campaigns over a four-year period. Details on each campaign are given below and data from measurements in all campaigns are available.


Campaigns undertaken by NETCARE:

● 2013 Ucluelet campaign

● 2014-2015 Alert snow study

● 2014 POLAR6 aircraft campaign (concurrent with the 2014 Amundsen campaign)

● 2014 Amundsen ship-based campaign (concurrent with the 2014 POLAR6 campaign)

● 2015 POLAR6 aircraft campaign

● 2016 Amundsen ship-based campaign

● 2016 Alert campaign


Please note that all data is in the ICARTT format. More information on the ICARTT format can be found at https://www-air.larc.nasa.gov/missions/etc/IcarttDataFormat.htm .
