Background:

• Cloud genesis, radiation transfer and chemical processes in Arctic during polar nights dramatically differ from those during polar days.
• Despite numerous airborne field campaigns in Arctic regions, all of them were conducted during polar days or during polar sunrise or sunset.
• Until now, the Arctic environment during nighttime remains poorly explored.
• PONEX will conduct the first Arctic polar night airborne field campaign.

Airborne campaigns to study Arctic during last 20 years and were performed during polar day.
