Results of regional scale sea ice and snow thickness surveys during Nansen Legacy Q1 research cruise in March 2021 using helicopter-borne electromagnetic induction sounding instrument (EM-bird).

The Nansen Legacy cruise Q1 was part of the seasonal investigation of the northern Barents Sea and adjacent Arctic Basin. The cruise was conducted in 2-24 March 2021 onboard R/V Kronprins Haakon, and focused on studying the physical, chemical and biological conditions along the Nansen Legacy main tr...

Description
Summary:The Nansen Legacy cruise Q1 was part of the seasonal investigation of the northern Barents Sea and adjacent Arctic Basin. The cruise was conducted in 2-24 March 2021 onboard R/V Kronprins Haakon, and focused on studying the physical, chemical and biological conditions along the Nansen Legacy main transect in open waters and within the sea ice. While in sea ice we conducted ten regional scale sea ice helicopter-borne surveys of ice conditions along the Nansen Legacy transect using a helicopter-borne electromagnetic instrument (HEM) EM-bird. This dataset presents processed EM-bird data on total snow and sea-ice thickness along the flight tracks.
