Winch transporting ICOS flask sampler

Since 22 November 2024, a new ICOS flask sampler is measuring at the ICOS Class 1 Atmosphere Station Jungfraujoch. The ICOS-CH team at University of Bern, together with the custodians of the Jungfraujoch station, tested the instrument in the lab and finally brought it to Jungfraujoch. The old flask sampler was broken in spring 2024 and we are more than happy that the ICOS greenhouse gas sampling can now continue. Read the full story of how the new sampler found its way to the top of Jungfraujoch directly at the website of HSFJG (High Altitude Research Stations Jungfraujoch & Gornergrat)
