Methods & Sampling

Wind data were collected in 1 minute intervals at two weather stations on the Joubin and Wauwerman Islands on the west and east flanks of Palmer Deep Canyon. Data were sampled at 1 minute intervals.

Data Processing Description

Data were averaged hourly to produce an hourly timeseries of wind speeds to match High Frequency Radar sampling intervals.

Instruments

Anemometer

Supplied Name: RM Young, Model 05108-45

Supplied Description:

RM Young, Model 05108-45

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Anemometer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/101/

Generic Description:

An anemometer is a device for measuring the velocity or the pressure of the wind. It is commonly used to measure wind speed. Aboard research vessels, it is often mounted with other meteorological instruments and sensors.

cloud cover quantifiers

Supplied Name: Mesotech ceilometer, CBME80

Supplied Description:

his device measures cloud height using LIDAR. A pulsed light beam is directed vertically and the return signal is detected. Depending on the nature of that return, distinct cloud layers may be detected: lower, middle and upper. If there is no distinct return (due to fog, for instance), vertical visibility is reported.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: cloud cover quantifiers

Generic Description:

Instruments that measure the proportion of the sky covered by cloud (cloud amount) and/or the height of the cloud above the ground (cloud base). Also called ceilometers.

LI-COR LI-190SA PAR Sensor

Supplied Name: Licor, LI-190

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: LI-COR LI-190SA PAR Sensor

Acronym: LI-COR LI-190SA PAR

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0193/

Generic Description:

The LI-190SA Quantum Sensor is used to accurately measure (non-aquatic) Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) in the range of 400-700 nm. Colored glass filters are used to tailor the silicon photodiode response to the desired quantum response. The LI-190SA is also used as a reference sensor for comparison to underwater PAR measured by the LI-192SA or LI-193 Underwater Quantum Sensors.

LI-COR LI-200R Pyranometer

Supplied Name: Licor, LI-200R

Supplied Description:

"Solar irradiance (Licor, LI-200R)

Instrument Type

Generic Name: LI-COR LI-200R Pyranometer

Acronym: LI-COR LI-200R

Generic Description:

The LI-200R Pyranometer measures global solar radiation (the combination of direct and diffuse solar radiation) in the 400 to 1100 nanometer (nm) wavelength range. Measurement units are in watts per square meter (W m-2). It is used for applications in agricultural, meteorological, solar energy, and environmental research. The LI-200R measures global solar radiation with an unfiltered silicon photodiode. The crown of the sensor rapidly sheds water, and also physically blocks light from outside the hemisphere of sensitivity, providing a precise cosine response. Its sensitivity is typically 75 uA per 1000 W m-2. It has a maximum deviation of 1% up to 3000 W m-2. Its stability is < +/- 2% change over a 1-year period. It has an operating temperature range of -40 to +65 degrees Celsius.

OSi OWI-430 DSP-WIVIS Present Weather and Visibility Sensor

Supplied Name: Optical Scientific, Inc. OWI-430 WIVIS

Supplied Description:

Optical Scientific, Inc. OWI-430 WIVIS

Instrument Type

Generic Name: OSi OWI-430 DSP-WIVIS Present Weather and Visibility Sensor

Acronym: Osi OWI-430 WIVIS

Generic Description:

The Osi OWI-430 WIVIS is an optical weather and visibility sensor that measures visibility, rain, snow, drizzle, freezing and mixed precipitation conditions. It measures rain in dynamic range 0.1 to 3000 mm/hr; snow in dynamic range 0.01 to 300 mm/hr; visibility in dynamic range 0.001 to 10 km. It is designed to operate in temperatures from -40 to 50 degC, and humidity from 0 to 100 percent.

Supplied Name: Mesotech, MT-PA01D 8" heated, tipping rain bucket

Supplied Description:

Mesotech, MT-PA01D 8" heated, tipping rain bucket. Measures rainfall and melted snow/sleet. Each tip of the bucket corresponds to 0.254mm of precipitation.

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Precipitation Gauge

Acronym: PrecipGauge

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/381/

Generic Description:
