-The **Jülich ObservatorY for Cloud Evolution** (JOYCE) is operated jointly by the [[http://www.geomet.uni-koeln.de/allgemein/home/|University of Cologne]], the [[http://www.fz-juelich.de/sid_50CF378098510D59D1AB0F010430BF4A/portal/DE/Home/home_node.html|Research Centre Jülich]] and the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre "Patterns in Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere-Systems: Monitoring, Modelling and Data Assimilation" ([[http://www.tr32.de|TR32]]).
+AWIPEV is the French-German Arctic Research Base operated by the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research [[http://www.awi.de/|(AWI)]] and the French Polar Institute Paul Emile Victor [[http://www.institut-polaire.fr/language/en/|(IPEV)]]. Within the Transregional Collaborative Research Centre TR 172 "ArctiC Amplification: Climate Relevant Atmospheric and SurfaCe Processes, and Feedback Mechanisms (AC)³" ([[http://ac3-tr.de|(AC)³]]), the University of Cologne collaborates with AWI in the long-term observations at the Atmospheric Observatory.
 ===== Scientific Goals =====
-JOYCE instrumentation aims to observe spatial and temporal variability of atmospheric water cycle variables. {{ youtube>small:gcdeuluWWEQ}}\\
+Within (AC)³, researchers at the University of Cologne, University Bremen and AWI will characterize the thermodynamic structure, clouds, aerosols, and trace gases in the atmospheric column at Ny-Ålesund on a long-term basis. In Cologne, the research focus is on remote sensing of the termodynamic structure and cloud macro- and microphysical properties using the synergy of the established observations at AWIPEV and new instrumentation, e.g. a cloud radar.
-Specific goals are
+The ground-based observations at Ny-Ålesund will be in accompanied by satellite, aircraft and ship measurements, as well as modeling studies on various scales.
-  * to disentangle water vapor variations due to advection and to local surface influence
-  * to better understand the development of boundary layer clouds
+Specific scientific questions are
-  * to analyse cloud radiation interaction
+  * To what extent and with which accuracy can we gain insight into the thermodynamic, trace gas, aerosol and cloud macro- and microphysical properties at Ny-Ålesund?
-  * to observe precipitation formation
+  * What is their impact on the radiation and energy budget throughout the vertical extent from the surface to the lower mesosphere?
+  * How do Arctic low-level clouds respond to global climate change?
+  * How representative are the Ny-Ålesund observations across other Arctic sites?

-===== Data availability =====
-JOYCE provides a number of resources, which characterize the thermodynamic state of the atmospheric column including vertical profiles of temperarture, humidity and cloud macro- and microphysical properties as well as the aerosol loading. The data is freely accessible for scientific and educational purposes and may be obtained through direct contact to [[loehnert@meteo.uni-koeln.de|Dr. U. Löhnert]].
