Abstract:
The Snow and Ice Mass Balance Array (SIMBA) is a thermistor string type IMB (Jackson et al., 2013) which measures the environment temperature SIMBA-ET and temperature change around the thermistors after a weak heating applied to each sensor (SIMBA-HT). Totally, there were 22 SIMBAs deployed in the Arcitic Ocean over the Distributed Network (DN) and the Central Observatory during the Legs 1a, 1 and 3 of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) campaign.
This table contains buoy information, including the name of buoy archived in https://www.meereisportal.de/, the original names, the iridium number, deployment date, location, and site, as well as some joint deployments.
