Description
Summary:The report covers activities during the period 1 December 1966 to 30 November 1967, at the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Washington, at Drifting Station T-3, and at the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory, Barrow, Alaska. Autumn 1967 marked a change in the general conduct of the project. Both the micrometeorology and atmospheric chemistry programs had been maintained continuously for five years and it was felt that the accumulated data are now sufficient to establish a basic radiation climatology as well as the main features and trends of the carbon dioxide and ozone concentrations in the atmosphere. Current activities are concentrated on data analysis and interpretation, and on the solution of certain, specific problems such as the response of large sheets of sea ice to climate changes, the principles of radiation scattering in clouds, ice, and snow, and the diffusion of carbon dioxide across the sea surface.
