Description
Summary:Three-dimensional oceanic currents and temperature of seawater were collected using the eddy-covariance techniques at nine ice stations during 'ArcWatch-1' expedition of RV Polarstern. The two devices of three-dimensional current meter and accurate temperature probe were physically linked by a cable to facilitate the power supply and the synchronized acquisition of distinct variables. For 3D current measurement, we utilized a 600 MHz Vector manufactured by Nortek. For seawater temperature, we employed a RINKO-EC ARO-EC-CM by JFE Advantech Co. The transducer of the current meter was positioned approximately 0.5 to 0.8 m beneath the bottom surface of the ice floe. The spearhead of the RINKO-EC sensor was positioned within 10 mm from the lateral boundary of the sampling volume (diameter = 14 mm; height = 14 mm), located about 157 mm from the central transmitter, inserted at an angle of 45 degrees from below relative to the vertical axis of the water current measurement by Vector. The data sampling was performed ...
