However, all information has been quality controlled by University of Copenhagen staff, and any errors that might occur in the manual are therefore the sole responsibility of the University of Copenhagen. Front page picture: Morten Rasch Publisher: Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen Photo: Morten Rasch Photo: Morten Preface Safety is important for all types of arctic fieldwork. Fieldwork in remote arctic areas with extreme climate and extreme physical settings require close attention to safety. This manual pertains to all arctic fieldwork associated with research projects and tasks commissioned or managed by the Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen (SCIENCE). The manual consist of an introductory section including a more general introduction to safety considera- tions of relevance to all arctic fieldwork.

  • Vision-1 Terrain Database 1401 3015.( )-34-3631 Original 5 May 2015, Revision C 18 September 2015 Page 1 of 14 SERVICE BULLETIN
    Service Bulletin Number 3015.( )-34-3631 Announcement of the Availability of Vision-1® Terrain Database 1401 NOTE: Revision C to this Service Bulletin provides Field Loading information and updated kit pricing. A. Effectivity This Service Bulletin is applicable to Vision-1 P/N 3015-XX-XX configured with SCN 10.0 and later. B. Compliance Installation of Terrain Database 1401 is optional. Consideration should also be given to the length of time since the database was last updated. Each Terrain Database incorporates all changes and updates from the previous databases. NOTICE This Terrain Database can be field loaded into Vision-1. Contact Universal Avionics to obtain database loading kit part number P12104 which includes the Field Loading Procedures, Zip disks and USB flash drives to load Terrain Database 1401. Loading terrain databases into Vision-1 requires a Solid State Data Transfer Unit (SSDTU) (P/N 1408-00-X or 1409-00-2) or DTU-100 (P/N 1406-01-X or 1407-01-1) with Mod 1 marked on the nameplate. For operators using a DTU-100 without Mod 1, the Vision-1 units should be sent to Universal Avionics for updating. The terrain database contains five disks with 450 Mb of data and takes over an hour to load. Because of this, DTU-100 units without Mod 1 may fail due to overheating causing the Vision-1 Terrain Database to become corrupted and the Vision-1 system unserviceable. If the Vision-1 unit is returned to Universal Avionics for update of the terrain database or because of failure during field loading, the repair center will update the database and perform any modifications and updates to the unit.

  • An Aircraft-Based Study of Strong Gap Flows in Nares Strait, Greenland
    NOVEMBER 2018 H E I N E M A N N 3589 An Aircraft-Based Study of Strong Gap Flows in Nares Strait, Greenland GÜNTHER HEINEMANN Department of Environmental Meteorology, University of Trier, Trier, Germany (Manuscript received 16 May 2018, in final form 29 August 2018) ABSTRACT Gap flows and the stable boundary layer were studied in northwest Greenland during the aircraft-based Investigation of Katabatic Winds and Polynyas during Summer (IKAPOS) experiment in June 2010. The measurements were performed using the research aircraft POLAR 5 of Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI; Bremerhaven). Besides navigational and basic meteorological instrumentation, the aircraft was equipped with radiation and surface temperature sensors and a turbulence measurement system. In the area of Smith Sound at the southern end of the Nares Strait, a stable, but fully turbulent, boundary layer with strong winds of 2 up to 22 m s 1 was found during conditions of synoptically induced northerly winds through the Nares Strait. Strong surface inversions were present in the lowest 100–200 m. As a consequence of channeling effects, a well-pronounced low-level jet system was documented for each of four flights. The wind maximum is located at 20–50-km distance from the exit of Smith Sound. The 3D boundary layer structure past this gap is studied in detail. The channeling process is consistent with gap flow theory. The flow through the gap and over the surrounding mountains leads to the lowering of isotropic surfaces and the acceleration of the flow. The orographically channeled flow through Smith Sound plays a key role for the formation of the North Water polynya being the largest ice-producing polynya in the Arctic.
