Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers are underway! The Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate, MOSAiC,  #MOSAiCexpedition launched Friday to head to the Arctic for a critical scientific mission. “This is the largest experiment ever conducted in the Arctic,“ said Jim Bossert, Earth and Environmental Sciences Division Leader at Los Alamos. “The data collected has the potential to transform our understanding of the way the Arctic is responding to climate change—so important to improving our ability to predict global climate impacts of a rapidly changing Arctic environment.” To learn more about the expedition, check out this article: https://nyti.ms/2kUJfuw Photo Courtesy DOE
