| The [[https://www.unis.no/|University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS)]] is located in Longyearbyen, Svalbard (Norway). Longyearbyen is on the south side of the Adventfjorden. The area is mountainous, featuring seasonal snow cover, a typical tundra system, and glaciers. Within the CLOUDMAPS project, the Institute of Geophysics and Meteorology cooperates with UNIS and operates a Micro Rain Radar and a Parsivel on the roof of the UNIS building. The measurements are also supported by 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 [[https://www.unis.no/|University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS)]] is located in Longyearbyen, Svalbard (Norway).
