13:40-16:00: PS149_36-1-snowpit_070
Weather: foggy, sky showing a bit through the fog, calm, warm-ish, slightly frozen SSL. Very cool surface.
snowpit at CORING site (Matthias, Michi, Ruschle)
Measurements:
- SnowImager (surface at 3 locations (left, middle, right) and interface at 1 location (middle, 3x, overlapping by 20 cm), for SSA and density (grid) (interface grid first). SI had a configuration error after the third grid measurement, so there are a few funny measurements around 14:28, where the "bottom image", but not dark image is missing. Matthias brought a new USB drive, and it worked again. Maybe something to do with RD's mac.
- snow height (every 0.3 m along 4.5 m, left and right of actual snowpit)
- Density, Salinity, dO18
- Temperature
- Sample for microCT of snow, SSA + interface (Beautiful sample, according to MJ:)).
- Salinity and dO18 sample of interface and ice underneath.
- Photogrammetry for surface roughness of surface
15:45-16:30: PS149_36-1-snowpit_071
transect at CORING site (Michi, Ruschle)
20 m, every m: SSA (without density grid) starting at 0m, last measurement at 20 m. Density (with grid), offset 0.5 m to right of SSA, between the SSA measurements.
Details:
- soft bottom at 9m
Photogrammetry for surface roughness at 5,12,20m.
Cool SSL structure at Coring site (070). Last round there was a lot of rain here.
