St-Laurent. The vessels operated in the Arctic Ocean, mainly in the Amundsen Basin and in areas around the underwater mountain ranges Lomonosov Ridge and Alpha Ridge. The expedition lasted for six weeks, August 8 to September 20, 2016 Forskningsexpeditionen Arctic Ocean 2016 var ett samarbete mellan Sverige och Kanada med de både isbrytarna Oden och Louis S. St-Laurent. Fartygen arbetade i Arktiska oceanen, främst i Amundsenbassängen och områdena kring undervattensbergskedjorna Lomonosovryggen och Alfaryggen. Expeditionen pågick i sex veckor, 8 augusti till 20 september 2016. Icebreaker Oden The Swedish icebreaker Oden has served as a research vessel for expeditions to polar regions, in both Arctic and Antarctic waters, since 1991. Oden’s extensive flexibility, with research containers, scientific laboratories, and deep ocean winches, enables researchers in many different disciplines to use the vessel based on their needs. Navigational and meteorological data are collected continuously during research expeditions, stored on the vessel’s computer servers, and made available to researchers during and after the expedition. Den svenska isbrytaren Oden har använts som forskningsfartyg för expeditioner till polarområden, i både arktiska och antarktiska vatten, sedan 1991. Oden är en flexibel forskningsplattform med forskningscontainrar, laboratorier och vinschar vilket gör att forskare inom många olika discipliner kan utnyttja fartyget utifrån sina behov. Under forskningsexpeditioner insamlas kontinuerligt navigations- och meteorologiska data som lagras på fartygets dataservrar och är tillgängliga för forskarna under och efter expeditionen.

This objective is primarily aimed at the development and evaluation of surface flux parameterizations for use in numerical models, both for operational forecasting and climate studies. 3) Measurement of the aerosol particles on which polar clouds and fog form. The Arctic boundary layer is extremely clean compared to that over the open oceans or continental landmasses – aerosol concentrations are often exceptionally low. Our understanding of the sources of aerosol particles on which Arctic cloud and fog droplets form is poor, and models of aerosol typically struggle to reproduce even basic features of the size distribution and seasonal variability. Data include: Measurements: Wind speed and direction, air temperature, humidity, water vapour concentration, surface temperature, overhead cloud base height, cloud fraction statistics, backscatter profiles from aerosol/cloud droplets, solar and infra red radiation, cloud/fog droplet spectrometry, and aerosol size distributions. Images: 10 second timelapse thermal images of the ice off port side, 10 second (port/stb) and 60 second (forward) visible images of the surface to the horizon. Sampling: Fog water droplets, aerosol particles. A detailed description of data, methods, and equipment is available in the file 'AO16 Meteorological and Aerosol Data Info'.
