Aerosol measurements was made at Wasa using a moveable atmospheric radar system (MARA).
The purpose of the project was to improve our understanding of aerosol processes and waves in the polar middle atmosphere, and to compare aerosols in the troposphere of the ”clean” Antarctic with those in the ”polluted” Arctic. This research could also increase our knowledge of meteorological disturbances around Wasa and other research stations in the area.
