Remote sensing of winter snow and soil moisture status using airborne Ku and L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar observations
Principal Investigator: Kelly, Richard
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5877. The main objectives are: 1. to fly a novel Ku- and L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system over snow covered tundra land, lakes and sea ice in winter to obtain unique radar observations of these environments; 2. to use collected field measurements acquired by J. Thériault's project (license #5743) at Trail Valle...


IceBird Winter 2023
Principal Investigator: Krumpen, Thomas
Licensed Year(s): 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5486. IceBird Winter 2023 is part of a long-term sea ice observation program within the IceBird aircraft campaign series. IceBird was initiated in 2018 with the objective to ensure the long-term availability of a unique data record of direct sea-ice thickness observations to understand the role of the sea ice component for ...


Acoustic Monitoring of Marine Mammals and Ship Traffic in the ISR
Principal Investigator: Insley, Stephen J
Licensed Year(s): 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5109. The main objective is to assess and mitigate the impacts of increased shipping and sea-ice loss on marine mammals in the eastern Beaufort Sea. The primary methodology is passive acoustic monitoring at the western entrances to the Northwest Passage shipping route, particularly the Amundsen Gulf and Banks Island area. ...


Ice Bird 2019
Principal Investigator: Hendricks, Stefan
Licensed Year(s): 2019
Summary: Fundamental sea ice properties such as volume and surface characteristics change significantly within and between years. Arctic sea ice extent and thickness have undergone dramatic changes in the past decades. The strength of ice-albedo feedback mechanism depends on area-averaged ice concentration, snow and ice thickness and in summer significantly on melt pond fraction. The sea ice retreat in ...


Polar Airborne Measurements and Arctic Regional Climate Model Simulation Project (PAMARCMIP)
Principal Investigator: Herber, Andreas
Licensed Year(s): 2017
Summary: The observational platform will be a single aircraft, the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) POLAR 5, a modified DC-3 aircraft. Objectives of this project are to: 1. determine the actual state of the sea ice thickness distribution in the western Arctic and what are trends of the Sea Ice thinning; 2. characterize the actual sea ice thickness distribution and identify trends in the sea ice thickne...


Impact of melt ponds on energy and momentum fluxes between atmosphere and sea ice (acronym: MELTEX)
Principal Investigator: Birnbaum, Gerit
Licensed Year(s): 2008
Summary: The main goal of this project is to better understand how melt ponds evolve, and their influence on absorption/reflection of solar radiation at the sea ice surface. This information will help to predict summer sea ice melt and future Arctic climate. Data will be collected by using instruments mounted on the German research aircraft Polar5. The airbase of Polar5 will be Inuvik. The aircraft will...


Spring Season Coastal Reseach in the Beaufort Region
Principal Investigator: Forbes, Donald L
Licensed Year(s): 2004
Summary: Safe and sustainable hydrocarbon development and potential impacts of climate change on coastal infrastructure and subsistence activities require improved knowledge and understanding of coastal and nearshore seabed properties, and coastal hazards such as...


Licence #1742
Principal Investigator: Sherstone, David A.
Licensed Year(s): 1974
Summary: Studies on river ice, sea ice,a nd glaciers....
