UV characteristics of sea ice
|
 |
The instrument of choice (rather, availability,) for this study was a 110+ kg (240+ pounds) spectrophotometer, which in addition to having digital control, high spectral resolution, and clean optics, made a damn fine chair while executing the measurements.
|
 |
a radiometer (minus the gimp'ed flare) measured the total incoming light over the dominant portion of the solar spectrum.
|
 |
the best (or classiest, at least) instrument setups are sometimes designed in the
field, here note that once again, Vise-Grips are the world's perfect tool.
They're holding a fiber optic cable at a precise depth in the hole augered for
that purpose.
|
 |
cores were pulled out of the ice (maximum thickness: 2.2 meters) near the
measured area to
determine the general structure of the particular sea ice measured.
