Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A network of automatic data buoys for monitoring synoptic-scale fields of pressure, temperature, and ice motion throughout the Arctic Basin was recommended by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in 1974. Based on the Academy's recommendation, the Arctic Ocean Buoy Program was established by the Polar Science Center, University of Washington, in 1978 to support the Global Weather Experiment. Operations began in early 1979 and the program continued through 1990 with funding from various agencies. In 1991, the Arctic Ocean Buoy Program was superseded by the International Arctic Buoy Program (IABP), although the basic objective remains the same: to establish and maintain a network of drifting buoys in the Arctic Ocean to collect data needed for real-time operations and meteorological and oceanographic research. This report is one in a series of data reports that began in 1979. Data for this report were processed as outlined in the 1986 data report with the exception that the authors have reverted to 3-hourly interpolation of sea-level pressure and air temperature. The average daily temperature was calculated from these eight measurements. The tables give daily data for each buoy identified by its Argos number. The data are interpolated values for location and pressure at 1200 GMT. The value is not given if it is not reliably known. The temperature is averaged over the eight synoptic intervals to eliminate diurnal variation. An asterisk indicates that one or more of the temperatures during this day were not known. The plots show contours of surface pressure at 1200 GMT. The daily displacement of each buoy is indicated by a vector originating from the buoy's current position at the beginning of each day. Buoy positions and displacements were not plotted when the data did not permit good displacement estimates. Usually the pressure measurements were still reliable at these times and were used to construct the pressure field.

This book was released on 1994-01-10 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 85. On June 24, 1993, one hundred years had passed since Fridtjof Nansen and his companions set out on one of the most daring and exciting research expeditions the world had ever seen. They allowed their vessel, the Fram, to be frozen into the ice close to the New Siberian Islands, in the Arctic Ocean. Three years were to elapse before the ice released its hold on the Fram and allowed her to return to Norway via the strait between Greenland and Spitsbergen, which later came to be known as Fram Strait. The research carried out during Fram's drift in the ice altered forever our concept of the Arctic Basin.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this conference was to define and summarize the state of knowledge on the role of the Arctic and Antarctic regions in global change and to identify gaps in knowledge. Topics covered include: detection and monitoring of change : climate variability and climate forcing : ocean/sea ice/atmosphere interactions and processes : effects on biota and biological feedbacks : ice sheet, glacier and permafrost responses and feedbacks : paleoenvironmental studies : aerosols/trace gases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The polar regions, perhaps more than any other places on Earth, give the geophysical scientist a sense of exploration. This sensibility is genuine, for not only is high-latitude ?eldwork arduous with many locations seldom or never visited, but there remains much fundamental knowledge yet to be discovered about how the polar regions interact with the global climate system. The range of opportunities for new discovery becomes strikingly clear when we realize that the high latitudes are not one region but are really two vastly di?erent worlds. The high Arctic is a frozen ocean surrounded by land, and is home to fragile ecosystems and unique modes of human habitation. The Antarctic is a frozen continent without regular human habitation, covered by ice sheets taller than many mountain ranges and surrounded by the Earth’s most forbidding ocean. When we consider global change as applied to the Arctic, we discuss impacts to a region whose surface and lower atmospheric temperatures are near the triple point of water throughout much of the year. The most consistent signatures of climate warming have occurred at northern high latitudes (IPCC, 2001), and the potential impacts of a few degrees increase in surface temperature include a reduction in sea ice extent, a positive feedback to climate warming due to lowering of surface albedo, and changes to surface runo? that might a?ect the Arctic Ocean’s salinity and circulation.
