Brief Description (Abstract):

Characterizing atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is a prerequisite for microwave, mm-wave and infrared communication / radar operations over the marine environment or along the coastal zones. At the same time, ABL acts as a buffer between air and interaction between ice and the ocean. To estimate the various ABL parameters, airborne and remote sensing techniques dominate but these need to be calibrated against the surface based measurements. With this aim, we have develop a shipborne acoustic sounder, which was deployed onboard the ship Magdalena Oldendorff to probe the marine boundary layer along the east Antarctic shelf during January-February, 2002. It has revealed many unique features of ABL, which may lead to a better understanding of various communication problems faced over the marine environment.

Status: Completed

Purpose: Characterizing atmospheric boundary layer is a prerequisite for microwave, mm-wave and infrared communication / radar operations over the marine environment or along the coastal zones 1-5. To estimate the various atmospheric processes, airborne and remote sensing techniques dominate, as there is no stable platform available to deploy the equipment 6-8. However, for utilizing the remote sensed data, inter-comparison with the shipborne measurements can be made to assess the reliability of remotely sensed data9-ll.
