Dear Brandon, Sabrina, and Jamell,Our main priority is to service the Automated Weather Stations across all of Greenland. There are 18 AWS sites, each of them needed yearly maintenance. The AWS traverse will take approximately one week. After the AWS tour, we will be at Summit Station. We will work on another AWS there and a Baseline Surface Radiation Network instrument. The final project during the expedition is studying isotopes in snow crystals to determine point of origin. Please let me know if you have any other questions and thanks for your interest.
All the best,
Jim Pottinger
