Summary
Abstract: This data set includes spectral and broadband measurements of downwelling shortwave and longwave radiation made aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter 'Polar Sea' during the 1994 Arctic Ocean Section (AOS). Measurements were made using a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroradiometer, a multichannel narrowband ultraviolet radiometer, two Eppley pyranometers, and an Eppley pyrgeometer. Surface air temperatures and relative humidity data accompany the radiation measurements. Data are in comma-delimited ASCII format and are available via ftp.

Project
Use Constraints Interested researchers should contact the principal investigator before undertaking detailed interpretation of these data, so that the strengths and limitations of these data are properly understood. The principal investigator is happy to collaborate on any research project that uses these data. If a researcher wishes to use these data in his or her own publication, the acknowledgements section of this publication should list the name and institution of the principal investigator (Dan Lubin, Scripps Institution of Oceanography), and should state that the data were collected during the 1994 Arctic Ocean Section.
