| Research Abstract |
In order to investigate the water circulation, structures of weather systems, and clouds and precipitation formation mechanism in the Arctic region, ground based observations were carried out using remote sensing instruments in the Scandinavian Arctic region and over the Norwegian Sea.
An X-band vertical pointing Doppler radar was installed at Kiruna, Sweden and collected the data for 4 months from January to April in 1999. It was found that precipitation was strongly affected with the topography of the Scandinavian mountains. To understand the water circulation in this area, it is necessary to understand of the interaction between the topography and weather systems. Meteorological observations were also carried out from October 1999 at Bear Island in the central Norwegian Sea and Ny-Alesund, Spitsbergen. These data set would contribute to understand weather systems and water and energy circulation in the Arctic region.
