Summary
Abstract: The Surface Heat Budget in the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) is a coordinated
project to investigate the role of arctic climate in global
change. The primary goals of SHEBA are:

1. To determine the ocean-ice-atmosphere processes that control the
surface albedo and cloud-radiation feedback mechanisms over arctic
pack ice, and to use this information to demonstrably ... View entire text
