In situ sea ice temperature and relative conductivity measurements from Microstructure and In situ Salinity and Temperature buoy in Elson Lagoon, October 2017-March 2018
Two Microstructure and In situ Salinity and Temperature (MIST) buoys were deployed in Elson Lagoon in October, 2017. They each consist of two vertical sets of 32 temperature sensors colocated with pairs of exposed wires, between which the electrical impedance of the ice/water in between can be measu...

Two Microstructure and In situ Salinity and Temperature (MIST) buoys were deployed in Elson Lagoon in October, 2017. They each consist of two vertical sets of 32 temperature sensors colocated with pairs of exposed wires, between which the electrical impedance of the ice/water in between can be measured (see Notz, 2005). These sensor pairs are located every 3 centimeters (cm) from slightly (~3 cm) above the water line to ~87 cm below. The buoys were each additionally equipped with air temperature, Global Positioning System (GPS), and x-y tilt sensors. Each sensor is sampled every hour, at which point data was both stored locally and sent back via Iridium short burst data link. The buoys were deployed in open water at the beginning of the ice growth season so that the sea ice grows down around the sensors.
