Description
Summary:The formation of leads of open water in the Arctic ocean cause warm ocean water to be exposed to the cold atmosphere. The resulting supercooled ice fogs which make rime-ice and frost are a persistent problem for instrumentation deployed on the Arctic sea-ice. To alleviate the problem of frosting, a catalytic heater assembly was developed for use with ventilated short and long wave radiometers deployed in the Arctic. 1.
