Dataset
Sea ice fraction estimates from low-level aircraft compiled from ACCACIA, Iceland Greenland Seas Project and Arctic Summertime Cyclones project flights
Abstract
This dataset contains sea-ice fraction estimates, based on albedo from shortwave radiation during low-level aircraft legs, as well as a few other aircraft measurements compiled from several field campaigns: Aerosol Cloud Coupling and Climate Interactions in the Arctic (ACCACIA), Iceland Greenland Seas (IGP) Project and Arctic Summertime Cyclones (ASC) project flights. The data are derived from the BAE-146 measurements on the FAAM and Meteorological Airborne Science Instrumentation (MASIN) instrumentation measurements onboard the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Twin Otter aircraft. All field campaigns were funded by NERC under the ACCACIA (NE/I028297/1), IGP (NE/N009754/1) and Arctic Summertime Cyclones (NE/T00682X/1) grants.
This compilation is a subset of data taken from ‘surface turbulence data sets’ for each individual campaign (also on CEDA).
