More Information
Summary:Kipp and Charette discuss the Arctic Radium Isotope Observing Network (ARION), the combined shipboard and mooring-based observational program, supported by the US National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs (NSF-OPP) Arctic Observing Network. It allows to collect seasonal and interannual time-series measurements of radium isotopes in Arctic surface waters. Such a high-resolution record will make it possible to distinguish climate-related changes in shelf-derived material fluxes from seasonal changes. The first goal of the ARION program, to establish a seasonal time series, will be accomplished using novel Moored Radium In-situ Samplers (MoRIS) developed through a collaboration with McLane Research Laboratories Inc.
