The Campaign
The Arctic Mechanisms of Interaction Between the Surface and Atmosphere (AMISA) campaign aimed to investigate how global warming affects Arctic ice formation. AMISA conducted a single deployment over Scandinavia and Greenland during the boreal summer of 2008. NASA's DC-8 collected measurements of sea ice, cloud, and aerosol properties. Additional shipborne observations were also recorded. AMISA was one of the NASA-supported International Polar Year (IPY) projects.

Additional Notes
The Oden research vessel was a component of the Arctic Summer Cloud-Ocean Study (ASCOS) campaign, sponsored by Sweden. Both projects were part of the International Polar Year (IPY) and were conducted in tandem, with AMISA being the airborne component and ASCOS being the ship-borne component.
