Ice temperature information is acquired from the cores, which are taken on-board for further analysis. The latter includes thin-section analysis of sea-ice stratigraphy and crystallography at -20C within the freezer lab on-board the ship. The cores are then cut up into 5cm sections and melted for analysis of salinity and stable oxygen isotopes.Observation items:Snow: - Thickness- Temperature profile (every 3 cm)- Snow-ice interface temperature at 1m intervals along the 100m transects- Grain size- Grain shape- Density- Hardness- Salinity- Stable oxygen isotopeIce:- Thickness- Freeboard- Draft- Temperature- Salinity- Stable oxygen isotope- Crystallography and texture- DensityInstruments:Snow: Folding scales, Spatula, Thermometer, Snow sampler, Magnifying glass, Salinometer, Temperature and thickness probes, scalesIce:Drills, corers, ice-thickness tape measures, thermometer, salinometer, band-saw, cross-polarising filter, scalesThe data are recorded in log books (scanned copies are included in this dataset) and have been transferred into the standard AAD sea-ice database templates (in excel format) for each station.Progress Code: completed&rft.creator=Toyota, T., Lecomte, O., Massom, R., Giles, B. and Commonwealth of Australia &rft.creator=TOYOTA, TAKENOBU &rft.creator=LECOMTE, OLIVIER &rft.creator=MASSOM, ROB &rft.creator=GILES, BARRY &rft.creator=COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA &rft.date=2013&rft.coverage=westlimit=120.1128; southlimit=-64.4443; eastlimit=120.1128; northlimit=-64.4443&rft.coverage=westlimit=120.1128; southlimit=-64.4443; eastlimit=120.1128; northlimit=-64.4443&rft.coverage=westlimit=121.0323; southlimit=-64.9519; eastlimit=121.0323; northlimit=-64.9519&rft.coverage=westlimit=121.0323; southlimit=-64.9519; eastlimit=121.0323; northlimit=-64.9519&rft.coverage=westlimit=120.8228; southlimit=-65.131; eastlimit=120.8228; northlimit=-65.131&rft.coverage=westlimit=120.8228; southlimit=-65.131; eastlimit=120.8228; northlimit=-65.131&rft.coverage=westlimit=120.0175; southlimit=-65.2558; eastlimit=120.0175; northlimit=-65.2558&rft.coverage=westlimit=120.0175; southlimit=-65.2558; eastlimit=120.0175; northlimit=-65.2558&rft.coverage=westlimit=119; southlimit=-65.25; eastlimit=119; northlimit=-65.25&rft.coverage=westlimit=119; southlimit=-65.25; eastlimit=119; northlimit=-65.25&rft_rights=These data are publicly available for download from the provided URL.&rft_rights=Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode&rft_rights=This data set conforms to the CCBY Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

Full description

This dataset contains routine measurements of snow and ice thickness, and snow-ice interface temperature, at 1m intervals along standard transects; snow property characterisation in snow pits measured at 0m, 50m and 100m along the transects; and sea ice cores acquired at various locations both along the transects and elsewhere on ice station floes during the 2012 SIPEX 2 marine science voyage.

Ice temperature information is acquired from the cores, which are taken on-board for further analysis. The latter includes thin-section analysis of sea-ice stratigraphy and crystallography at -20C within the freezer lab on-board the ship. The cores are then cut up into 5cm sections and melted for analysis of salinity and stable oxygen isotopes.

Observation items:
Snow:
- Thickness
- Temperature profile (every 3 cm)
- Snow-ice interface temperature at 1m intervals along the 100m transects
- Grain size
- Grain shape
- Density
- Hardness
- Salinity
- Stable oxygen isotope
Ice:
- Thickness
- Freeboard
- Draft
- Temperature
- Salinity
- Stable oxygen isotope
- Crystallography and texture
- Density

Instruments:

Snow:
Folding scales, Spatula, Thermometer, Snow sampler, Magnifying glass, Salinometer, Temperature and thickness probes, scales

Ice:
Drills, corers, ice-thickness tape measures, thermometer, salinometer, band-saw, cross-polarising filter, scales

The data are recorded in log books (scanned copies are included in this dataset) and have been transferred into the standard AAD sea-ice database templates (in excel format) for each station.
