Summary: | Ice mass balance (IMB) buoy data PS81/517 from Weddell Sea, Antarctica, 2013. The buoy was deployed together with an automatic weather station buoy (see under related) on sea ice station PS81/517 from Research Vessel Polarstern in the Antarctic Weddell Sea in austral winter 2013 (cruise leg ANT-XXIX/6, AWECS campaign). The IMB buoy provides data between 2013-07-31T17:28:00 and 2013-10-11T00:30:00.The IMB buoy was kindly provided by the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS). The IMB buoy consisted of a thermistor string of 5 m length, with a 2 cm sensor spacing. Interfaces were determined by hand. Heating cycle data was of poor quality, so the interfaces were picked mostly based on temperature. The ice interface will be pretty good (~2 cm accuracy), and the snow is probably a bit more inaccurate. The bottom interface was determined from the existence of a knee in the temperature profile where apparent. The top interface was picked based on the transition to constant temperature in the air and the ... |
