Radiosonde profiles of atmospheric temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction Dataset Description: <p>Radiosonde profiles of atmospheric temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction<br />
<br />
<b>Radiosondes</b><br />
Profiles of atmospheric temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction were measured<br />
using Vaisala RS80-GPS radiosondes carried aloft by helium balloons. A list of radiosonde<br />
launches is given as the data file list. The data are transmitted from the sonde to a<br />
shipboard receiver and these are stored at 2-s intervals by computer. This sampling<br />
gives good height resolution in the atmospheric boundary layer, which is under the direct<br />
influence of the fluxes through the sea surface. The radiosondes were generally launched<br />
to coincide with the overpasses of the NASA Aqua earth observation satellite, as the<br />
atmospheric profiles derived from the radiosondes can be used to validate satellite<br />
retrievals of atmospheric temperature and humidity distributions.</p> Methods and Sampling: <p><a href="http://data.bco-dmo.org/Fe_Synthesis/SAGE/SAGE_Voyage_Report.pdf">Refer to SAGE Voyage Report</a> <br />

Iron Synthesis
The two main objectives of the Iron Synthesis program (SCOR Working Group proposal, 2005), are:
1. Data compilation: assembling a common open-access database of the in situ iron experiments, beginning with the first period (1993-2002; Ironex-1, Ironex-2, SOIREE, EisenEx, SEEDS-1; SOFeX, SERIES) where primary articles have already been published, to be followed by the 2004 experiments where primary articles are now in progress (EIFEX, SEEDS-2; SAGE, FeeP); similarly for the natural fertilizations S.O.JGOFS (1992), CROZEX (2004/2005) and KEOPS (2005).
2. Modeling and data synthesis of specific aspects of two or more such experiments for various topics such as physical mixing, phytoplankton productivity, overall ecosystem functioning, iron chemistry, CO2 budgeting, nutrient uptake ratios, DMS(P) processes, and combinations of these variables and processes.

See also: SCOR Proceedings Vol. 42 Concepcion, Chile October 2006, pgs: 13-16 2.3.3 Working Group on The Legacy of in situ Iron Enrichments: Data Compilation and Modeling.
The first objective of the Iron Synthesis program involves a data recovery effort aimed at assembling a common, open-access database of data and metadata from a series of in-situ ocean iron fertilization experiments conducted between 1993 and 2005. Initially, funding for this effort is being provided by the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF).
Through the combined efforts of the principal investigators of the individual projects and the staff of Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO), data currently available primarily through individuals, disparate reports and data agencies, and in multiple formats, are being collected and prepared for addition to the BCO-DMO database from which they will be freely available to the community.
As data are contributed to the BCO-DMO office, they are organized into four overlapping categories:
1. Level 1, basic metadata
(e.g., description of project/study, general location, PI(s), participants);
2. Level 2, detailed metadata and basic shipboard data and routine ship's operations
(e.g., CTDs, underway measurements, sampling event logs);
3. Level 3, detailed metadata and data from specialized observations
(e.g., discrete observations, experimental results, rate measurements) and
4. Level 4, remaining datasets
(e.g., highest level of detailed data available from each study).
Collaboration with BCO-DMO staff began in March of 2008 and initial efforts have been directed toward basic project descriptions, levels 1 and 2 metadata and basic data, with detailed and more detailed data files being incorporated as they become available and are processed.

United States Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study
The Surface Ocean Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) program is designed to enable researchers from different disciplines to interact and investigate the multitude of processes and interactions between the coupled ocean and atmosphere.
Oceanographers and atmospheric scientists are working together to improve understanding of the fate, transport, and feedbacks of climate relevant compounds, and also weather and hazards that are affected by processes at the surface ocean.
Oceanographers and atmospheric scientists are working together to improve understanding of the fate, transport, and feedbacks of climate relevant compounds.
Physical, chemical, and biological research near the ocean-atmosphere interface must be performed in synergy to extend our current knowledge to adequately understand and forecast changes on short and long time frames and over local and global spatial scales.
The findings obtained from SOLAS are used to improve knowledge at process scale that will lead to better quantification of fluxes of climate relevant compounds such as CO2, sulfur and nitrogen compounds, hydrocarbons and halocarbons, as well as dust, energy and momentum. This activity facilitates a fundamental understanding to assist the societal needs for climate change, environmental health, weather prediction, and national security.
The US SOLAS program is a component of the International SOLAS program where collaborations are forged with investigators around the world to examine SOLAS issues ubiquitous to the world's oceans and atmosphere.

Surface-Ocean Lower-Atmosphere Studies Air-Sea Gas Exchange (Experiment)
http://www.niwascience.co.nz/rc/atmos/sage/
Surface-Ocean Lower-Atmosphere Studies Air-Sea Gas Exchange (Experiment)
<p>While not officially funded as a U.S. SOLAS project, SAGE included<br />
significant U.S. participation and it's science themes were consistent<br />
with those of the International SOLAS program.</p>
<p>[from <a href="http://www.us-solas.org:8080/Plone/projects/the-us-solas-in-the-sage-study ">http://www.us-solas.org:8080/Plone/projects/the-us-solas-in-the-sage-study</a> (26 may 2008)]<br />
SAGE was a mesoscale Fe addition experiment run after the seasonal autumnal<br />
bloom of the sub-Antarctic showed a small biological response to Fe addition.<br />
The SF6/3He dual-tracer experiment extended the range of gas exchange measurement<br />
into stronger wind regimes typical of the Southern Ocean.</p>
<p>A goal of the SAGE project was to increase understanding of air-water Gas Exchange,<br />
Mixed Layer structure, skin/surface properties, biogenic gases and atmospheric fluxes.<br />
Core measurements included Carbon, N2/O2, noble gas, DMS(P), SO2, N2O, CO, CDOM CN<br />
and aerosol chemistry.</p>
<p>One cruise was conducted aboard the Research Vessel Tangaroa and instrumentation<br />
included CARIOCA pCO2 Buoys, Shipboard Gill R3A Anemometer mast, SAMI pCO2 sensors,<br />
SkinDeep vertical profiler, MAERI, SCAMP/TRAMP temperature microstructure profiler,<br />
sparbuoy, ADCP, S-band radar, FRRF, flow cytometer, primary production, nutrients,<br />
Fe, Meteorology and radiosondes.</p>
<p><em>from "DSR intro.doc"; by Mike Harvey described as in preparation for Deep Sea Research II</em><br />
The SOLAS air-sea gas exchange experiment (SAGE) was a combined gas-transfer process<br />
study and iron fertilisation experiment conducted in sub-Antarctic waters of the<br />
south-west Bounty Trough (46.5°S 172.5°E) to the south-east of New Zealand between<br />
mid-March and mid-April 2004.</p>
<p>The experiment was designed as a lagrangian study of air-sea gas exchange processes<br />
of CO2, DMS and other biogenic gases associated with an iron-induced phytoplankton<br />
bloom. In conjunction with the iron fertilisation a dual tracer SF6/3He release<br />
served quantify both patch evolution and air-sea tracer exchange at the 10's of km's<br />
scale. Within this patch local/micrometeorological (100's m scale) gas exchange<br />
process studies quantified physical variables such as near-surface turbulence,<br />
temperature microstructure at the interface, wave properties and wind speed to enable<br />
development of improved gas exchange models for the frequently windy Southern Ocean.</p>
<p>After 15 days and four iron additions totalling 1.1 tonne Fe2+ there was a doubling<br />
in both column chlorophyll-a and primary productivity; a very modest response compared<br />
with other mesoscale iron enrichment. An investigation of factors limiting bloom<br />
development considered co-limitation by light, other nutrients, phyto-plankton seed-stocks<br />
and grazing regulation.</p>

Instrument Name: Radiosonde Vaisala RS80-GPS Instrument Short Name:Radiosonde Instrument Description: Vaisala RS80-GPS radiosondes carried aloft by helium balloons measure atmospheric temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction. The GPS receiver of the GPS-radiosonde measures a shift in Doppler frequencies using a codeless detection and measurement technique. The measured Doppler shifts are a combination of satellite and radiosonde motion and contain the pertinent information for wind speed and
direction computation. Doppler frequency measurements of up to 8 satellites are sent to the ground equipment using a low bandwidth (1200 baud) digital link. New independent GPS Doppler measurements from the GPS-sonde are provided every 0.5 seconds for up to 8 channels with 24-bit resolution. The ground equipment computes the wind
speed and direction using the differential GPS concept. For more information see www.hobeco.net/pdf/RS80_GPS.pdf. Community Standard Description: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/103/
