While all satellite TOCs showed high correlations with Brewer TOCs (R = ~0.8 to 0.9), there are some TOC differences among satellite data in austral spring, which is mainly attributed to the bias of Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) TOC. The quality of satellite TOCs is consistent between Level 2 and 3 data, implying that “which satellite TOC is used” can induce larger uncertainty than Citation: Kim, S.; Park, S.-J.; Lee, H.; “which spatial resolution is used” for the investigation of the Antarctic TOC pattern.

  • Early Trade-Offs and Top-Level Design Drivers for Antarctic Greenhouses and Plant Production Facilities
    46th International Conference on Environmental Systems ICES-2016-201 10-14 July 2016, Vienna, Austria Early Trade-offs and Top-Level Design Drivers for Antarctic Greenhouses and Plant Production Facilities Matthew T. Bamsey*, Paul Zabel†, Conrad Zeidler*, Vincent Vrakking*, Daniel Schubert* German Aerospace Center (DLR), Bremen, 28359, Germany and Eberhard Kohlberg‡ Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, 27568, Germany and Michael Stasiak§, Thomas Graham** University of Guelph, Guelph, N1G 2W1, Canada The development of plant production facilities for extreme environments presents challenges not typically faced by developers of greenhouses in more traditional environments. Antarctica represents one of the most inhospitable environments on Earth and presents unique challenges to facility developers with respect to environmental regulations, logistics, waste management, and energy use. The unique challenges associated with plant production in Antarctica heavily influence the selection of subsystem components and technologies as well as the operational paradigms used to operate the facilities. This paper details a wide array of the early design choices and trade-offs that have arisen in the development of Antarctic plant production facilities. Specific requirements and several guidelines stemming from the Antarctic Treaty’s Protocol on Environment Protection and their influence on Antarctic plant production facilities are described. A review of guidelines for Antarctic greenhouses published by several national Antarctic operators is also described. The specific technology choices of several past and present Antarctic greenhouses are summarized, as are the general operational strategies, such as solid and nutrient solution waste handling. Specific lessons learned input was compiled directly from developers and operators of a number of these facilities.
