Ship Campaigns Existing and Potential Long-Term, Distributed ground-based Measurements (Russia and Partners) can offer Observational Support to the PPP and YOPP (prepared by T. Uttal) Cape Baranov Russian Drifting Stations
Some Suggestions - Data from SHEBA and North Pole Russian drifting stations are important for model experiments as a part of the YOPP Preparation Phase, for MOSAiC and future North Pole station planning. - An international program of atmospheric observations, executed by Roshydromet (Russia), NOAA (USA) and FMI (Finland) at the Tiksi Hydro-meteorological observatory and possible extended programs at Ice Base Cape Baranov in concert with Polar Observatories at Summit, Ny-Ålesund, Eureka, Alert and Barrow (www.iasoa.org) offer YOPP a comprehensive data set on the polar atmospheric and underlying surface in a picket fence configuration surrounding the Arctic Ocean. - The existing network of polar stations and resulting surface and upper air meteorological observations will be essential for YOPP experimental design. Additional financial and instrument support is very important for relevant data quality and value. (For example 4 radiosoundings per day vs the usual 1 at Russian polar stations). Additional soundings require additional personnel and sondes. - Must consider the state of permafrost, fast ice, glaciers, hydrological studies (important for flooding), and atmospheric chemistry in the framework of YOPP. - Important to develop standard protocols and data formats of data similar to the procedures followed by previous WMO global experiments (For example: GARP Global Experiment)
