Ship-Based Meteorological Data, 2017

During the ArcticNet annual cruises of the research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen, characteristics of the near-surface atmosphere (basic meteorological elements, incident radiation) are monitored. Central to this integrated dataset, 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 05106-10) - 16m height; wind direction (RM Young Wind Monitor 05106-10) -16m height; air temperature (Vaisala HMP45C) - 15m height; relative humidity (Vaisala HMP45C) -15m height; and, surface temperature (Apogee IR Transducer SI-111) - 8m height, atmospheric pressure.


All instruments were mounted on a meteorological tower on the bow of the research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen, except for the IR transducer SI-111, which was mounted on top of the gunwale at the ship's bow, overlooking the water surface.

Purpose

This dataset provides a summary of basic meteorological variables throughout the ArcticNet cruise of 2017. 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 ArcticNet Program.
