Ship-Based Eddy Covariance Data, 2007-2008 CFL IPY Project

As part of this project, an eddy covariance system was deployed to monitor fluxes of CO2, H2O, heat and momentum. The following variables were continuously sampled at a rate of 10 Hz (instrument used to collect each variable is in parentheses, and approximate instrument height above surface is indicated):


-3D wind velocity (Gill R3 and Gill Windmaster Pro ultra-sonic anemometers) - 15m

-Sonic air temperature (Gill R3 and Gill Windmaster Pro ultra-sonic anemometers) - 15m

-CO2 molar concentration (LI7500 open path gas analyzer) - 15m

-H2O molar concentration (LI7500 open path gas analyzer) - 15m

-CO2 mixing ratio (LI7000 integrated into a closed path system) - 15m

-H2O mixing ratio (LI7000 integrated into a closed path system) - 15m

-3D ship motion - angular rates and accelerations (MotionPak, Systron Donner)


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

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to improve our understandings of how CO2, heat, water vapour and momentum are exchanged in an Arctic flaw lead/polynya system. 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.
