Description
Summary:The specific tasks of this grant were to operate the University of Washington's Convair C-131A research aircraft in the arctic in support of LeadEx, to analyze data collected aboard the aircraft, and to provide theis data to other LeadEX investigators. the Convair C-131A made 18 flights totaling 70 hours over the ice pack north of Deadhorse, Alaska, in April 1992. Data was collected on: (1) Particles and gases in the air; (2) The radiative properties of the ice surface, leads and ice crystal clouds; (3) Various methods for the remote detection of leads and surface temperatures; and (4) Heat fluxes from leads.
