1 Taneil Uttal, a scientist with NOAA’s Physical Sciences Laboratory, has been studying the Arctic atmosphere, climate and more for 22 years — a career that’s made her a pro at remote Arctic living. Uttal recently returned from a four and a half month stint in the central Arctic on the MOSAiC Expedition, an ambitious Arctic research effort led by the Alfred Wegener Institute and involving more than 400 scientists from 19 countries. Scientists on the mission are collecting data on the Arctic atmosphere, ice and ocean, with the goal of improving weather and climate forecasts — not just in the Arctic region, but globally. While on MOSAiC, Taneil lived on the German icebreaker RV Polarstern, a research ship that was frozen into the Arctic sea ice. What did you do to prepare for this Arctic expedition?
2 Scientists like me had extensive training before going on MOSAiC. We had firearms training and something called mariner’s training, which is a weeklong course that anyone has to have if they’re going to be a non-passenger on a vessel. We also did Arctic survival training. When we got to Tromsø, Norway, we did several extra trainings, including getting survival gear on and swimming around the Bay, just to see what it was like to be in cold water, in case we ever ended up in cold water
