Announcements:
Thank you to everyone who participated in the ARCSIX presentation on Friday and the Open House today. Everyone from the general community really appreciated the cool (pun intended) experience of learning about ARCSIX science, having the opportunity to see the NASA planes in person, and talking with some of the instrument teams about their work.
If you didn't receive any NASA swag because you were busy preparing for the open house, please see me.

NASA Mission Flies Over Arctic to Study Sea Ice Melt Causes
It’s not just rising air and water temperatures influencing the decades-long decline of Arctic sea ice. Clouds, aerosols, even the bumps and dips on the ice itself can play a role. To explore how these factors interact and impact sea ice melting, NASA is flying two aircraft equipped with scientific instruments over the Arctic Ocean north of Greenland this summer. The first flights of the field campaign, called ARCSIX (Arctic Radiation Cloud Aerosol Surface Interaction Experiment), successfully began taking measurements on May 28.
