A brief visit to Barrow to assess the end-of-season meltpond coverage and albedo. This was a day trip that started with an entertaining safety announcement on the Alaska Airlines flight (youtube); the cookies were great. I was joined by photographer Jim Barker on UAF assignment. Photos from this trip and the campaign earlier this month are in the GI quarterly newsletter 20(4), 2007, and on the 2008 Staff Council Calendar.
