24. Salinity and temperature versus depth at manned camps<br />
Standard STD measurements were made twice a day at each manned camp duriing<br />
the main experiment. As <strong>of</strong> 29 December 1977 the data bank received 581 casts<br />
distributed among the four manned camps. Time periods vary.<br />
25. Speci fi c humi di ty<br />
Hourly averages <strong>of</strong> vapor pressure, mixing ratio g/g, and specific humidity g/g<br />
are derived from measured dewpoint and atmospheric pressure at the main camps<br />
during the entire <strong>AIDJEX</strong> program.<br />
26. Under-ice pr<strong>of</strong>ile (subicex 1-76)<br />
Up-looking sonar was used to measure sea ice thickness in the Beaufort Sea in<br />
April 1976. A submarine track traversed the <strong>AIDJEX</strong> area centered on earibou.<br />
Tape 1 contains data obtained on a northward track from 7OoN to 75ON, a distance<br />
<strong>of</strong> 290 nautical miles. Then on a southeast track (135 degrees<br />
clockwise) to about 72.5O'M, a distance <strong>of</strong> about 195 nautical miles, data were<br />
acquired for tape 2. Tape 3 contains data from the westward track, 290 nautical<br />
miles along 72.5ON. The tapes are 7-trackY odd parity, 556bpi. They are<br />
composed <strong>of</strong> fixed length binary coded decimal records.<br />
The data include periodic geographic location, distance between sonar soundings<br />
(inversely related to speed) and surface beam diameter inversely related to<br />
depth followed by the successive distances between the under-ice surface and<br />
the calculated water surface at each sounding point along the track. Soundings<br />
are mostly about 5 feet apart along the track. A histogram is included showing<br />
number <strong>of</strong> soundings at 1-foot intervals for each more or less 10,000 feet <strong>of</strong><br />
track. Available tapes are written in three forms: EBSIDIC, SCOPE BCD, and<br />
SCOPE Internal Display code. The first is the original form, the second is<br />
SCOPE compatible, and the third is in English.<br />
27. Ocean tilt, J. R. Weber, DEMR, Canada<br />
Data were obtained at Caribou during the period 11-22 April 1976 (<strong>AIDJEX</strong> days<br />
467-488). Ocean tilt is given in microradians every 3-5 minutes.<br />
28. Atmospheric boundary layer pr<strong>of</strong>ile<br />
Data from 23 flights <strong>of</strong> an instrumented package used during February 1976<br />
at Caribou. Measurements <strong>of</strong> wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and<br />
air pressure versus height (and time) are given.<br />
29. Pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>of</strong> wind and temperature, spectral analysis<br />
Mean wind speed, wind direction, and temperature pr<strong>of</strong>iles collected at Big<br />
Bear in spring 1975 and at Caribou in spring 1976 from a 25 m tower, Experiment<br />
details are given in ADIJEX <strong>Bulletin</strong> No. 36 (May 1977) , pp. 157-174.<br />
NISSI data collected at 3 m and 20 m heights are included. It represents<br />
the variance <strong>of</strong> the wind speed signal in the range 0.2-1.0 Hz.<br />
