After <strong>the</strong> passage of a cold front in <strong>the</strong> night to 2003-07-16 visibility improved. On 2003-<br />

07-17 we were between a high over <strong>the</strong> Norwegian See and a low over Nor<strong>the</strong>ast<br />

Greenland. This situation brought us increasing westerly winds up to force 6 Bft. In <strong>the</strong><br />

late afternoon research work came to an end und we left <strong>the</strong> area. During our transit to<br />

Longyearbyen fresh to strong southwesterly winds were observed.<br />
