Application of Aerosondes to Melt-Pond Observations over Arctic Sea Ice
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Continuous observation of sea ice using a small robotic aircraft called the Aerosonde was made over the Arctic Ocean from Barrow, Alaska, on 20?21 July 2003. Over a region located 350 km off the coast of Barrow, images ...
Sea Ice and Polar Climate in the NCAR CSM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Climate System Model (CSM) consists of atmosphere, ocean, land, and sea-ice components linked by a flux coupler, which computes fluxes of energy and momentum between components. The sea-ice component consists of a ...
A New Monthly Climatology of Global Radiation for the Arctic and Comparisons with NCEP–NCAR Reanalysis and ISCCP-C2 Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements from the Russian ?North Pole? series of drifting stations, the United States drifting stations?T-3? and ?Arlis II,? land stations, and, where necessary, over the northern North Atlantic and coastal Greenland, ...
Multiparameter AVHRR-Derived Products for Arctic Climate Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Generation and sample applications of an integrated set of remotely sensed products for investigations of Arctic climate are described. Cloud fraction, ice surface temperature, surface albedo, downwelling radiative fluxes, ...
Late-Twentieth-Century Simulation of Arctic Sea Ice and Ocean Properties in the CCSM4
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: o establish how well the new Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4) simulates the properties of the Arctic sea ice and ocean, results from six CCSM4 twentieth-century ensemble simulations are compared here with ...
Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A summary is presented of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) project, with a focus on the field experiment that was conducted from October 1997 to October 1998. The primary objective of the field work was ...
