Greenland Automated Mass Balance and Boundary Layer Experiment
The Greenland Automated Mass Balance and Boundary Layer Experiment (GAMB2LE) is a research project led by the National Centre for Atmospheric Science as part of the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) Forecasting Tipping Points programme.
GAMB2LE will create a next-generation, modular, scaleable polar observatory capable of characterising the ice-atmosphere interface in remote and under-sampled areas of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
Breaking barriers in Arctic science
A state of the art automated and mobile observatory will bridge the critical air-ice observational gaps and lay the groundwork for an early warning system for ice sheet melt, made possible by our team at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, University of Colorado Boulder, Menapia Ltd, Polar Field Services, and Amodo. We are funded by ARIA.
