Research Field

Gases in Sea Ice 1975 - 1979.

John J. Kelley T. A. Gosink

Abstract : Although this research was concerned with several trace gases, carbon dioxide was of primary concern. The arctic and subarctic regions represent nearly 10% of the northern hemispheric surface, half of which is Arctic Ocean and tundra. Global atmospheric diffusion models for CO2 are not entirely satisfactory for the arctic where winter-summer differences in CO2 concentration are the largest in the world. There is a substantial amount of data on measured atmospheric CO2 levels of the arctic environment, but there is a significant lack of information for sources and sinks, particularly with respect to seasonal and geographic rates of exchange. Annual sea ice and frozen tundra are not sealed media, but evolve significant quantities of carbon dioxide throughout the winter. The high latitude arctic region is found to be a significant net annual source of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Annual sea ice permeable to gases because of its brine content, that it is enriched in some of these trace gases, that it outgases throughout the winter, and that for periods of time it controls tropospheric concentrations for some of these gases. We have also observed and reported similar effects for the tundra for both summer and winter conditions. Copies of recent technical papers submitted for publication are appended.

Climatological observations in the Philip Smith Mountains of the North Slope, Alaska: Climatology report series No. 2

John J. Kelley Donald S. Foster

Climatological data from an automatic weather station (Aanderaa) located at the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company Material Site 117 (MS-117) are presented in this report. Data are listed for hourly averages daily. The data report covers the period 1 August 1985 to 31 May 1986. Observations in this report include wind speed and direction, temperature and barometric pressure. Descriptions of the instrumentation and estimates of reliability are included in the test. Various analyses of the data are presented in the appendices. A summary of the wind and temperature regime is presented through displays of cumulative frequencies of hourly temperatures and wind speeds for the 12-month period, June 1985 to May 1986.

On the Albedo of Snow in Antarctica: A Contribution to I.A.G.O.

Journal of Glaciology (1988)

Gerd Wendler John J. Kelley

Abstract As part of a larger experiment, detailed albedo measurements were carried out during the austral summer of 1985-86 in the dry-snow zone (1560 m) of Terre Adélie, eastern Antarctica. The following results were found: (1) Mean albedo values were high (around 82.6%). On clear days, the albedo showed some dependency on the solar elevation. The dependency was slight for solar elevations above 12° but became larger with low Sun angles. (2) The albedo was found to be a function of cloud amount and type, increasing with the amount and thickness of clouds. In white-out conditions, very high albedos were found (>90%). (3) The albedo showed a dependency on the type of snow. New snow displayed higher values than older snow, whose crystals had been destroyed by mechanical action. (4) A simple model was developed to assess the influence of sastrugi on the albedo. This model could explain the asymmetric diurnal variation about solar noon of the measured albedo above a sastrugi field. The above four dependencies might explain the considerable discrepancies which can be found in the literature concerning the snow albedo of Antarctica.

Environmental Radiocesium in Subarctic and Arctic Alaska Following Chernobyl

ARCTIC (1991)

M. Baskaran John J. Kelley A. Sathy Naidu D. F. Holleman

Radiocesium (134Cs and 137Cs) concentrations were measured in soil, plant and wildlife samples from subarctic to arctic Alaska. Concentrations of 137Cs ranged from below detectable or low levels in whale and fish samples to as high as 242 Bq/kg in lichen. For all potential human food items, the radiocesium concentrations measured in this study were below accepted permissible levels for human consumption. Chernobyl-derived radiocesium concentrations ranged from below detectable or low levels in all arctic samples (soil, sediment, lichen, whale, fish and caribou) to 32 Bq/kg in subarctic moss. Therefore the distribution and subsequent deposition of Chernobyl-derived radiocesium appears to be variable but decreasing significantly from the Subarctic (Fairbanks) to the Arctic. The present data support the suggestion that Chernobyl-derived debris arrived from western Canada into central Alaska and subsequently moved to the north (arctic) and to the west, decreasing in the quantity deposited as the debris transversed the state.Key words: Chemobyl, radiocesium, lichen, mushroom, caribou, reindeer, soil, fallout, deposition
