Surface energy balance of sea ice during the winter-to-spring transition

Data collection was conducted over level landfast sea ice (approximately 1.4m thick) in Resolute Passage, Nunavut, Canada. Meteorological and radiation variables were collected with instruments mounted on two towers, separated by ~5m. Measured and calculated energy balance components were reduced to one-hour averages, which are reported here. Further details can be found in Else et al. (in review), Surface energy budget of landfast sea ice during the transitions from winter to snowmelt and melt pond onset: The importance of net long wave radiation and cyclone forcings.
