VISUAL CENSUS TRANSECTS

Quality The snow and sea-ice conditions during SIPEX 2012 proved to be very difficult to conduct full measurement along the ice-physics transects as part of full ice stations. The extensive snow cover and the thick and generally heavily ridged ice were taxing on humans and mechanical equipment, making the 100m transects a time consuming undertaking.

No transect data were collected on stations #1 and #5.

At some occasions where there was unconsolidated ice or incorporated slush measurements could not be obtained.

A substantial component the sea-ice cores were near melting temperature making ice-core recovery and structural analysis difficult. Ice-core conditions made analysis in freezer lab taxing.
