Under-ice radiometer transect, 15–24 March 2010: Chris Petrich

Marcel Nicolaus and Dirk Kalmbach of AWI in Germany and myself spent a bit over a week on radiation measurements above and beneath the ice. This included two 30 m transects of transmissivity under the ice to establish a base line before the onset of algae growth.

Also, we had some problems with the mass balance probe in February which turned out to be linked to a blown fuse.

We left Barrow on the 24th and handed over sea ice research to Matt Druckenmiller who arrived a few minutes before we left.
