Winter struck back

Weather above the Arctic circle can change fast and and very significant. After sun shine and almost T-shirt weather on Friday temperatures dropped, wind increased and snow began to fall again. With such bad weather a science flight was not possible. Most of us spend the day for further system checks of the instruments what was quite a tough task as our aircraft remain outside at any time. 

To protect our self from the uninviting temperatures and the strong wind we could lent special polar clothes in advance of the campaign from the AWI. The clothes were packed in kitbags and shipped directly to Inuvik. The sizes we could test in advance in Bremerhaven. Hidden behind the fake fur the your field of view was a little narrow but nose and skin kept warm.
