Ice mass balance buoy network: Coordination with DAMOCLES Jackie Richter-Menge and Don Perovich
7 buoys deployed • Participated in • Tara deployment – fall 2006 • Tara ice camp – spring 2007 • Preliminary reduction and analysis • Presentations Project status and progress 2007 2006 Ability to attribute change
Sea Level Pressure (hPa) Surface Air Temperature (°C) • Many partners • DAMOCLES • IABP • SIZONET • BGEO • NPEO • CFL • SEDNA • NOAA • Collocate with atmosphere and ocean sensors • Technology transfer (MetOcean) • Data is available on web page Coordination and integration plans A coordinated network of buoys
Field effort with DAMOCLES - April 2008 • Deploy 3 buoys • Ice characterization • Data management • Data analysis • of ice data • combine with atmos/ocean obs. • integrate with • remote sensing • model results • Expand network Future directions and 2008 2007 Solar ocean heat anomaly 2.1 m! 800 600 400 200 0 -200 Enhance understanding of ongoing change
