Ballooning | FrictionVelocity

Tangential stress, ocean and atmospheric science. September 11, 2014. So as promised, a science post! As well as spotting wildlife and taking photos, the meteorology team on Oden are busy making measurements. One of the more hands-on of these are radiosondes, which we are responsible for launching four times a day, every six hours, throughout the 3 months of the cruise.

Tangential stress, ocean and atmospheric science. Polar Bear and more. September 1, 2014. On Thursday what we’d all been waiting for was spotted: the first Polar Bears of SWERUS-C3 Leg 2! The first one was pretty far off, I only saw it through binoculars, but still, very exciting. The second one came much closer and most of the ship got a look and a photo. Meet the met’ team. August 30, 2014. While we all have slightly different responsibilities, we work closely together and help each other out with our ...

Tangential stress, ocean and atmospheric science. September 25, 2014. Summer has certainly ended here in the Arctic at 85N. The vernal equinox has passed and the sun stays very low in the sky all day, normally behind thick cloud. Air temperatures have been between -2C and -7C depending on whether the wind is blowing onto or off the ice. Seawater temperature has been hovering around -1.5C, the approximate freezing point for water this saline (about 26 PSU, normal sea water is around 35 PSU). The meteorolo...

About | FrictionVelocity
https://frictionvelocity.wordpress.com/about
Tangential stress, ocean and atmospheric science. 1) is an intermittent venture in blogging about a life in atmospheric and ocean science; mostly the (occasionally) weird and (sometimes) wonderful bits of it that involve making measurements in the wild. Primarily the fault of Ian Brooks. It features contributions from members of my research group at the University of Leeds, and our collaborators at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton. Within the School of Earth and Environment. Is a post-doct...

Tangential stress, ocean and atmospheric science. August 30, 2014. Meet the met’ team. The meteorology team for the second leg of the SWERUS-C3 / ACSE Arctic cruise is shown in Photo 1, sporting snazzy windbreakers from our Swedish hosts. The leg-2 meteorology team: Ola, Dan, John, Barbara, and Georgia. As an introduction, we’ve all put together a paragraph or two about ourselves. These are below, lightly edited by me (I claim any spelling/grammar errors). I’m a PhD student at the Department of Meteorolo...

Tangential stress, ocean and atmospheric science. August 28, 2014. After five days of open ocean work north of Wrangel Island, the Oden has moved further north to our second work area and we have entered the ice! After the grey and featureless monotony of the Bering Straight, everyone on board was excited when the first ice was spotted, some so much so that they were able to ignore the wind chill (about -20 C; Photo 1). Photo 1 caption: Pedro braving the wind to spot the first sea ice on leg 2].

Gratuitous wildlife post | FrictionVelocity
https://frictionvelocity.wordpress.com/2014/09/04/gratuitous-wildlife-post
Tangential stress, ocean and atmospheric science. September 4, 2014. This is primarily a blog about science, and that was what I was intending this post to be. However, pretty much all real work on the Oden came to a halt for several hours yesterday when a couple of locals paid us a visit (Photos 1, 2 and 3). Polar Bear and cub. Mum leads the way, on the hunt for herring (and scientists). Mum shows off her teeth. (Photo taken by Dan Wolfe). Next post →. All Models Are Wrong. Southern Ocean and Antarctica.
