Update on Ferrybox Improvement of process understanding through the use of high frequent Ferrybox observationsHenning Wehde, Dominique Durand, Pierre Jaccard and Kai Sørensenhenning.wehde@niva.no
Ferrybox network • Ferrybox results, validation/verification, validation of satellite data • Use of results, Comparison/Combination of observations from diverse platforms using numerical modelling
Ferrybox network Svalbard Norrøna Nuka Arctica Collaboration with FRS and Uni Rhode Island Collaboration Uni Bergen
Ferrybox system Ferrybox flow Flow through Ferrybox system • T, S, chl a fluorescence • turbidity and oxygen Sensors for above water radiance Satellite communication automatic water sampling Optional sensors measuring: • Sea surface skin-temperature, total irradiance, air temperature, true wind, UV radiation • Nutrient analysers
High frequency measurements (2 times/24h, night and day) Studying timing and geographic development of a bloom Coupling the bloom to water masses Ferrybox data used for studies of phytoplankton blooms in the Skagerrak Oslo Hirtshals Bloom starts Chlorophyll-a Fluorescence (mg/m3) Salinity
