Ship-Based Meteorological Data, 2007-2008 CFL IPY Project

As part of this project, the following meteorological variables were recorded at 1 minute intervals (instrument used to collect each variable is in parentheses, and approximate instrument height above surface is indicated):


-Wind speed (RM Young Wind Monitor 05103) - 16m height

-Wind direction (RM Young Wind Monitor 05103) -16m height

-Air Temperature (Vaisala HMP45C212) - 15m height

-Relative Humidity (Vaisala HMP45C212) -15m height

-Surface temperature (Everest IR Transducer, 4000.44ZL)


All instruments were mounted on a meteorological tower on the bow of the research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen.

Purpose

During the 2007-2008 CFL IPY Project, the research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen overwintered in the South Beaufort Sea/Amundsen Gulf flaw lead system. The purpose of this experiment was to comprehensively study the flaw lead system through an entire annual cycle.


This dataset provides a summary of basic meteorological variables throughout the CFL project. The purpose of these measurements is to provide part of the physical context for the various atmospheric, oceanographic, chemical and biological processes which were examined by the various investigators involved in the CFL study.
