Sea ice thickness and ancillary parameters between the North Pole and Fram Strait from the Ice-T buoy
This data set collected along the drift of the Ice-T buoy between the North Pole and Fram Strait/ East Greenland Current includes sea ice thickness, atmospheric pressure, air temperature, sea ice temperature profiles and upper ocean salinity and temperature at 6 m depth.
The data set is composed of one self-contained netcdf file per deployment. Air temperature corresponds to the first column of the temperature array. The origin of the vertical coordinate in the sea ice for temperature measurement is the surface of the ocean at the time of deployment.
The Ice-T (Ice-Thickness) buoy is a sea-ice mass balance buoy developed at LOCEAN-IPSL, Paris.
