Description
This dataset contains data collected during the Canadian-Swedish expedition Arctic Ocean 2016. The research cruise took place August through September 2016, using the icebreaker Oden.
For ship data from the cruise, as well as graphics and files describing the route, see https://snd.gu.se/sv/catalogue/study/ecds0221
For descriptions of Work Packages and research conducted during the cruise, see the SWEDARCTIC Arctic Ocean 2016 Expedition Report: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:polar:diva-3475

Work Package: Meteorology, Atmospheric Boundary Layer and Surface Fluxes
The meteorology work package has three distinct objectives:
1) Profiling of the thermodynamic structure of the polar atmosphere from the surface to approximately 25 km to provide information on synoptic structure.
2) Measurement of turbulent surface exchange (momentum, heat, water vapour), the surface energy balance, and evaluation of exchange coefficien
