Arctic sea ice thermal emission measurements from the Ultra Wideband Microwave Radiometer (UWBRAD) at the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) Expedition in January 2020
The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) Expedition was conducted to investigate the Arctic processes and evolution of ocean-ice-atmosphere system in the polar region throughout a year. The campaign began in October 2019 when Polarstern moored to an ice flo...

The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) Expedition was conducted to investigate the Arctic processes and evolution of ocean-ice-atmosphere system in the polar region throughout a year. The campaign began in October 2019 when Polarstern moored to an ice floe measuring roughly 2.8 x 3.8 kilometers in the north of the Laptev Sea. The ice floe was estimated to have formed in the north of the New Siberian Islands at the beginning of December 2018, and survived the summer melt during its Transpolar Drift towards the central Arctic. A science camp was established on the drifting ice floe for comprehensive measurements from diverse research groups. The Ultra Wideband Microwave Radiometer (UWBRAD) was also deployed on the ice at the remote sensing site in the camp, and performed measurements over the period January 17-23, 2020. It monitored a refrozen melt pond in oblique angles to measure thermal emission signatures at frequencies 540, 900, 1380 and 1740 megahertz. The instrument was installed on a stationary telescoping mast that can be manually adjusted to different heights. The direction of antenna was controlled by a programmable rotator unit which allowed it both to monitor sea ice from a desired oblique angle and to perform periodic upward looking sky measurements for calibration.
