SHEBA  

Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean

In 1998 I participated in the SHEBA project in the Arctic Ocean. From October 1997 until October 1998 a big icebreaker (Des Groseilliers) was frozen into the perennial icepack and served as a floating research station. Scientists at the ice camp studied the atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, and snow cover, to determine how these media interact through the surface heat budget.

I was engaged by ARM to run the HRPT satellite receiving station, make balloon launches, and perform data quality control of ARM measurements.

Leisure time......

Every day we were served two- or three-dishes lunch and dinner. The Arctic life was really hard….	A selection of balls used in SHEBA international golf tournament. Due to possible polar beer attacks the tournament was arranged indoors.
