FRAM I Meteorology Report,
Abstract
The Fram experiment was conceived as a series of studies to study the geophysics and oceanographic characteristics of the eastern Arctic. The meteorological experiment was designed to provide basic data on wind velocities for the oceanographic experiments, to measure the drag coefficient of the pack ice in the area of the camp, and to collect standard weather data and transmit it to Thule for inclusion in the synoptic network and for planning flight support operations. This report describes the experiment, the data analysis procedures and the data products which are available. The time series of half hour averages of wind speed, direction, and air temperature plus the air pressure every three hours are included as an appendix. Results of the drag coefficient calculations are also included.
