First Observations of Energy Budget and Bulk Fluxes at Ny Ålesund (Svalbard) during a 2010 Transition Period as Analyzed with the BEAR Station
Figure 1
Sketch showing the evolution of the net radiation and turbulent fluxes along a year in Arctic regions. The ordinate is in arbitrary units to take into account a possible ratio between the different components. Typically, during SHEBA, maximum turbulent warming is close to 20 Wm−2, and 50 Wm−2 is the maximum infrared cooling during winter. Adopted from Maykut [6], Barry et al. [7], Persson et al. [8]. (Surface warming sign is often conventionally positive for oceanographers and negative for meteorologists).
