The COMPEX-EC campaign (Clouds over cOMPlEX environment – EarthCARE) is currently taking place in Kiruna, Sweden, from April 2 to 16, 2025. Scientists from the Universities of Cologne and Leipzig will conduct an EarthCARE validation campaign using the Alfred Wegener Institute’s Polar 5 research aircraft. Equipped with an array of cloud remote sensing instruments, we will conduct research flights along the orbit of the overflying EarthCARE satellite to validate its performance.

Stay tuned for some impressions and regular updates from Kiruna via the Blog:
