Gruvebadet Atmosphere Laboratory
Gruvebadet is an atmosphere laboratory and observatory located midway between Ny-Ålesund, the Zeppelin observatory and the Climate Change Tower. The building currently hosts instruments for among others aerosols sampling.
The local influence at Gruvebadet is minimal due to the wind regime. The location is also interesting for remote sensing since the light pollution from the village is drastically reduced here.
