Ship-Based Meteorological Data, 2007-2008 CFL IPY Project

As part of this project, the following meteorological variables were recorded at 1 minute intervals (instrument used to collect each variable is in parentheses, and approximate instrument height above surface is indicated):

-Wind speed (RM Young Wind Monitor 05103) - 16m height -Wind direction (RM Young Wind Monitor 05103) -16m height -Air Temperature (Vaisala HMP45C212) - 15m height -Relative Humidity (Vaisala HMP45C212) -15m height -Surface temperature (Everest IR Transducer, 4000.44ZL)

All instruments were mounted on a meteorological tower on the bow of the research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen.
