TLDR
In this article, the main structural member of the boom, a triangular communications tower with rollers attached along its bottom side, is deployed horizontally from a long, flat deck such as a helicopter deck, and will support a 100-kg payload at its outboard end.About:

Figures
Figure 4. The profiles measured from the 80mov at 2139 GMT (also local time) on 6 November 1981. The location was 61057'8, 1013'E, and the ship was surrounded by small ice floes with freezing going on between them.

The aerodynamic roughness of different types of sea ice
TL;DR: The aerodynamic roughness for all major types of sea ice is specified on the basis of surface layer measurements from ship and ice floe platforms as mentioned in this paper, which can be adjusted if heat fluxes are present.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy exchange over Antarctic sea ice in the spring
TL;DR: The first measurements of turbulent and radiative fluxes over the interior pack ice of the Southern Ocean were made during the U.S.-USSR Weddell Polynya Expedition as discussed by the authors.

Flux-Profile Relationships in the Atmospheric Surface Layer
TL;DR: In this article, the free constants in several interpolation formulas can be adjusted to give excellent fits to the wind and temperature gradient data, and the behavior of the gradients under neutral conditions is unusual, however, and indicates that von Karman's constant is ∼0.35, rather than 0.40 as usually assumed, and that the ratio of eddy diffusivities for heat and momentum at neutrality is ∼1.0.

Sensible and Latent Heat Flux Measurements over the Ocean
William G. Large,Stephen Pond +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive act of sensible heat (Reynolds flux and dissipation methods) and latent heat (dissipation method) flux measurements from a stable deep water tower and from ships on the deep sea is presented.

On the Differences in Ablation Seasons of Arctic and Antarctic Sea Ice
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the meteorological conditions necessary for the onset of surface melting in an attempt to explain these observations and found that low relative humidity associated with relatively dry winds off the continent and an effective radiation parameter smaller than that characteristic of the Arctic are primarily responsible for the absence of melt features in the Antarctic.

The turbulent heat flux from arctic leads
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the sensible component of the heat flux can be predicted from bulk quantities from the AIDJEX Lead Experiment (ALEX) data, which is one of the largest terms in the Arctic heat budget.

Some effects of buoy motion on measurements of wind speed and stress
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that it is extremely important to keep the mean tilt very small, provided that some damping is done of the vertical motion and provided that the amplitude of the oscillating tilt is smaller than 10°-20°.
