The SPN1 Pyranometer - Case Study

MOSAiC: The Largest Ever Polar Research Expedition
MOSAiC (Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate) was the first year-round expedition into the central Arctic exploring the Arctic climate system. The project, with a total budget exceeding €140 Million, took place in 2019 and was organised by an international consortium of leading polar research institutions.

The SPN1 Sunshine Pyranometer was amongst the instruments being used on the expedition – providing crucial data to support detailed analysis of the Arctic environment (as the epicentre of global warming) to gain fundamental insights about the nature of global climate change.
