AKROSS 2022 Cambridge Bay Dataset

<p>The dataset includes field observations of snow on sea ice&nbsp; in Cambridge Bay in April 2022. The Dataset is link to the paper : (add DOI). 4 study site were done in 4 days and matches CryoSAT-2 observations.</p> <p>Data includes:</p> <ul> <li>Traditional Pit data</li> <li>Snow MicroPenetrometer</li> <li>Salinity</li> <li>Micro-CT</li> <li>IceCube</li> <li>Roughness</li> <li>Magnaprobe (snow depth)</li> <li>Ice thickness</li> <li>DGPS observation of the ice surface</li> </ul> <p>At each study site, surface roughness (sea ice and snow surfaces) and vertical profiles of snow properties were measured at the centre point of 1 km snow depth transects running in N-S and E-W cardinal directions. Vertical profiles of snow density, temperature, salinity and stratigraphy in snow pits were enhanced by microstructural measurements using an IceCube, a snow micropenetrometer and x-ray tomography (micro-CT) of snow and near-surface sea ice. Photogrammetric methods were used at each study site to assess surface roughness of the snow-air and sea ice-snow interfaces over areas of approximately 2-4 m2. Finally, sea ice thickness from manual drill holes was measured at each sites AK1-4.&nbsp;</p>
