EES-12 Darwin: The Third DOE ARM TWP ARCS Site Bill Clements, Larry Jones, Tony Baldwin, and Kim Nitschke Twelfth ARM Science Team Meeting St. Petersburg, Florida 8-12 April 2002 1. Introduction The United States Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program began operations in its Tropical Western Pacific (TWP) locale in October 1996 when the first Atmospheric Radiation and Cloud Station (ARCS) began collecting data on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea (PNG). TWP ARCS sites at Manus, Nauru and Darwin. Two years later, in November 1998, a second ARCS began operations on the island of Nauru in the Central Pacific. Now a third ARCS has begun collecting data in Darwin, Australia. The Manus, Nauru, and Darwin sites are operated through collaborative agreements with the PNG National Weather Service, The Nauru Department of Industry and Economic Development (IED), and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) Special Services Unit (SSU) respectively. All ARM TWP activities in the region are coordinated with the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) based in Apia, Samoa. The Darwin ARM site and its role in the ARM TWP Program are discussed below. 2. Site Selection

Job and Fellowship Opportunities - (January-March 1998) EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES The Earth System Science Inter-Disciplinary Center (ESSIC) is seeking to fill three separate tenure-track positions. Earth System Science represents a comprehensive integrated approach to the study of the physical and biological functioning of the Earth. ESSIC's mission is to carry out pre-eminent research and teaching programs in Earth System Science that use measurements from space complemented by sub-orbital, ground-based and laboratory measurements, underpinned by theoretical investigations and carried out within a framework of Earth System models. The new Center has been recently formed through collaboration between the University of Maryland and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). All three appointees will be expected to develop vigorous research and teaching programs in Earth System Science. Tenure will rest in the appropriate academic department related to the successful candidates' expertise. Director The Director will provide scientific leadership of the Center and will be responsible for the day-to-day operation of ESSIC. The appointment is expected to be made at the Full Professor level. The Director will provide leadership in developing the research and teaching programs of the Center especially in encouraging collaborative activities within and between the University and GSFC. The successful candidate shall have an established national and international stature in Earth System Science research, as evidenced by an outstanding record of recent publications and competitive reserach funding, and substantial experience in managing inter-disciplinary reserach and teaching programs.

About News People Directory Site Map ... Ask a Scientist MISCELLANEOUS Acronyms / Glossary Calendar Contacts Image Library ... Privacy and Security Notice SGP Operational Activities Intensive Observational Periods (IOPs)/Campaigns Routine Operations Routine Operations The overwhelming majority of the measurements with the highest priority, on which the existing experimental designs are based, are regular routine observations, as specified in the ARM Program Plan , 1990 (U.S. Department of Energy 1990). Scientifically and logistically, routine operations also serve as the basis and background for all nonroutine operations, including instrument development activities, IOPs, and collaborative campaigns directed toward obtaining difficult-to-gather or expensive in situ data. Consequently, development and validation of the basic observations remain high priorities. The SGP site is sufficiently mature to support IOPs addressing key scientific areas of study. Routine operations are the activities related to the operation and maintenance of instruments; the gathering and delivery of the resulting data; and the planning for scientific investigations, including IOPs, campaigns, value-added products (VAPs), and quality measurement experiments (QMEs). Although the site is essentially complete, instrumentation is evaluated continuously to assess its effectiveness in helping to meet the ARM Program's goals for the SGP site. The design expectation for the routine operation of instruments is that they will continue to require servicing by site operators only once every two weeks. The exception to this is the central facility, which is staffed. If an instrument failed during a two-week period at an extended facility, communication, data streams, or both could be lost, although every effort is made to ensure that data-logging capacity is adequate at each location.

Tim Stanton and Weislaw Maslowoski Collaborative Research: The Role of Ice-Ocean Exchange in Ice-Albedo Feedback. Timothy P. Stanton , Department of Oceanography, Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, CA 93943, Stanton@nps.navy.mil, (831) 656-3144, Fax: (831) 656-2712 - I have continued to organize and edit the SHEBA CTD timeseries data, and transferred the full, 12350 profile (T,S, s q )(t,z) timeseries to the CODIAC data base in October 2000. - An analysis of the ice-camp drift upper ocean T/S structure and heat content has been submitted for publication in JGR. This paper shows that the upper pycnoline heat content was significantly higher than sparse historical observations, particularly over the flanks of the Chukchi Cap. The available heat through even modest storm-forced mixed layer entrainment resulted in observed heat fluxes in excess of 100 Wm during March 1998, causing significant early season ice melt at the camp. Wm , although the instrusions provided a robust mechanism for lateral heat transport away from mixing regions near abrupt topography (Lamb, 2000). - I am developing a new estimator for c , the thermal variance dissipation rate, which is robust to the presence of strong, inactive interleaved T/S layers. This technique exploits the dual, spatially lagged micro thermistor sensors used on the automated profiling CTD/microstructure package, allowing the spectral signatures of fine-scale layering to be distinguished from active turbulent patches. The resulting turbulent heat flux estimates have significantly lower noise, and therefore more accurate estimates of vertical heat fluxes.
