SHEBA
Definition
- The purpose of SHEBA is to study the heat budget of the Arctic Ocean and its impact on global change. The primary goals of SHEBA are: (1) to develop, test and implement models of arctic ocean- atmosphere-ice processes that demonstrably improve simulations of the present day arctic climate, including its variability, using General Circulation Models (GCMs), and (2) to improve the interpretation of satellite remote sensing data in the Arctic for analysis of the arctic climate system and provide reliable data for model input, model validation and climate monitoring. This work involves development of new technology for solar infrared flux measurements at the Arctic Ocean surface. Efforts will also be made to develop an all season algorithm to retrieve total and multi-year sea ice concentrations from SSM/I 85.5 Ghz imagery from satellites and conduct a validation of polar cloud detection principles, using AVHRR data matched with surface all-sky photography and sea ice coverage lo! gs. This proposal focuses on SHEBA PHASE I technological development and analysis of existing data sets. For more information, link to "http://arcss-oaii.hpl.umces.edu/projects/lubin.html" (en)
