Data Access

Use of IGP data and coauthorship on publications

The IGP data and publishing plan asks that co-authorship be offered to data owners and data gatherers where a significant amount of that data has been used. For more information on data usage please contact Ian Renfrew (I.Renfrew@uea.ac.uk), Robert Pickart (rpickart@whoi.edu), or Kjetil Våge (Kjetil.Vage@uib.no).

Surface layer meteorological measurements

Sea surface and near surface shipboard meteorological measurements were recorded throughout the cruise. Additionally these observations have been processed using the COARE 3.0a bulk aerodynamic flux algorithm to provide bulk variables at standard heights and estimated flux coefficients. Access via https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/uuid/b4ba8f11459c422d84d7293b9211ccf7.

Radiosonde data

100 Radiosondes were launched during the 2018 IGP cruise. Final date are publicly available via http://data.ceda.ac.uk/badc/igp. Please contact Ian Renfrew for more information (I.Renfrew@uea.ac.uk).

HatPro radiometer data

A HatPro radiometer was installed on the Alliance and collected underway data throughout the cruise. V1 data are available at CEDA via http://data.ceda.ac.uk/badc/igp. A reprocessing of the HatPro data for the meteorological conditions of the cruise is underway. Please contact Joachim.Reuder@uib.no for details.

Windcube Lidar data

A Leosphere Windcube boundary-layer wind lidar was installed on the Alliance and collected underway data throughout the cruise. Final reprocessed data are available at CEDA http://data.ceda.ac.uk/badc/igp. For more information please contact christiane.duscha@uib.no or Joachim.Reuder@uib.no.

Radar precipitation data

This data set contains measurements from the Micro Rain Radar (MRR2), manufactured by Meteorologische Messtechnik GmbH (Metek) installed onboard the NATO Research Vessel Alliance during the Iceland Greenland Seas Project. Access via https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/uuid/dc723f82939843f199fff78778d5b8d0.

Meteorological buoy data

A meteorological buoy was deployed during the IGP cruise in the northern Iceland Sea in the vicinity of the UiB subsurface mooring. The buoy was configured to measure atmospheric temperature, wind velocity, humidity, and pressure as well as surface ocean temperature and velocity. Level 2 data are available via: https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/uuid/7cc70ebf9ebc46d483fb4f17a984a978. Please contact Jochen Reuder (Joachim.Reuder@uib.no) and Erik Kolstad (erik.kolstad@uni.no) for more information.

Aircraft data

In-situ airborne observations collected during research flights by the Meteorological Airborne Science Instrumentation (MASIN) on board the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) Twin-otter aircraft for the Iceland Greenland seas Project (IGP) including the Atmospheric Forcing of the Iceland Sea (AFIS) project. This dataset is a quality-controlled revision of the core meteorological data, generated at the University of East Anglia (UEA) and is available via https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/uuid/b3e807b8df824a8ca83468ce2e5b54e5. Contact Ian Renfrew or Andrew Elvidge (UEA) for more information.
