Description
Summary:One unmanned ice station (UIS) has been deployed at the L3 site (85.13ºN, 135.68ºE) of the Distributed Network (DN) of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) campaign on 10 October 2019. The UIS is a new prototype of IMB assembled by the Polar Research Institute of China, which consists of two separate units (ice and ocean) to measure physical parameters of the air-snow-sea ice-ocean system. For the ice unit, two acoustic sensors (Campbell SR50A and Teledyne-Benthos PSA916, respectively) are used to measure the relative changes in the position of the air/snow and ice/water interfaces. Thermistors (Maxim Integrated DS28EA00) mounted at 0.03 m spacing along a 4.5-m thermistor chain were used to measure temperature profiles. Air temperature and relative humidity (Vaisala HMP155A), as well as barometric pressure (Vaisala CS106), were measured at 1.5 m height above the initial snow surface. The UIS ocean unit (CT package) consisted of five conductivity & ...
