Project: IPCC Assessment Report 5 and Coupled Model Intercomparison Project data sets - These data belong to two projects: 1) to the Assessment Report No 5 of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC-AR5) and 2) to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project No 5 (CMIP5). CMIP5 is executed by the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison (PCMDI) on behalf of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). Most of the data is replicated between the...

1,2-Metallate rearrangements involving reaction of 1-metallated glycals with organolithium reagents under copper(I) mediation give alkenylpolyol chains in 45-91% yield (19 examples). The reaction was applied to a formal synthesis of KRN7000 as well as a synthesis of a Δ5,6-ceramide derivative.

PMOD/WRC deployed an instrumental set-up to determine the surface radiation balance by measuring the down-welling and up-welling components of the short-wave and long-wave irradiance. The setup features a Kipp and Zonen CM22 and CM21 pyranometer to measure the short-wave radiation and an Eppley-PIR and Kipp and Zonen CG4 pyrgeometer to measure the long-wave components. All radiometers were calibrated against the respective World standard groups hosted by the World Radiation Center (WRC) at Davos in order...

The CLARA-A1 dataset is a global dataset of cloud, surface albedo and surface radiation products derived from measurements of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) onboard the polar orbiting NOAA and Metop satellites. Monthly and daily mean products have been compiled over a time period of 28 years starting in 1982 and ending in 2009. Results are available for individual satellites as well as aggregated for all satellites. Results are provided on two types...

Above-below ground interactions are crucial to the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about the functional links between plants and soil eukaryotic microorganisms. Exploring the genes expressed by soil micro-eukaryotes through metatranscriptomics may contribute to filling this knowledge gap. We applied this method to study two contrasting alpine soils in which plant growth rates differ, owing to different snow-cover durations. Soil polyA+ RNAs from Late Snow Melt site (LSM) and Early Snow Melt...

The GWAMM project has developed a Community-Based Monitoring (CBM) network within the greater Hudson Bay region. Our goal was to monitor marine ecosystem change using apex predators but also to understand the drivers of change. Results provided policy information required to allow northerners the ability to adapt to the environmental changes. During the Inuit subsistence hunts of 2007, the network relied on Arviat and Sanikiluaq community involvement. In 2008 and 2009, we expanded the network...

This data set reports the thickness of peat for the S1 Bog measured directly with manual push probes on September 21 and 22, 2009, and measured by ground penetrating radar (GPR) across transects from January 26 to February 2, 2010 and June 2 to June 9, 2010. Also included are interpolated values of peat depth from both probe and GPR data for the S1 Bog at 1 meter square horizontal resolution.The key objectives of these...

NCEI Accession 0162256 includes Surface underway, chemical, meteorological and physical data collected from R/V Meteor research cruise along the WOCE SectionAR12/AR24 (EXPOCODE 06MT19970515) in the North Atlantic Ocean from 1997-05-15 to 1997-06-08. These data include measurements of mole fraction of CO2 in the equilibrator headspace (dry) at equilibrator temperature, mole fraction of CO2 measured in dry outside air, barometric pressure in the equilibrator headspace, water temperature in equilibrator, sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity and...

The concentrations of dissolved nutrients (nitrate, nitrate, phosphate, and dissolved silica) were measured on board ship with a nutrient autoanalyzer to complement the hydrographic data. They were measured on samples collected with the Trace Metal Clean Rosette at Station L1 (71°06'N, 139°10'W), L1.5 (73°19'N, 139°23'W), L2 (74°30'N, 137°00'W, L3 (75°17'N, 137°30'W), L1.1 (72°31'N, 136°41'), and S4 (71°11'N, 132°57'W) and on samples collected with the regular ArcticNet rosette at station S1 (69°30'N, 137°59'W), S2 (70°00'N, 138°30'W),...

Routine operation over a period shorter than 5 years (Enhanced Observation Period, EOP)

The research project is comprised of two components: 1) investigation of char biodiversity using genetic approaches, and char life history and thermal ecology using otolith microchemistry and stable isotope techniques at several areas throughout the Canadian Arctic (western Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Nunavik, Nunatsiavut), thereby providing the biological context in which to place climate variability and change effects on this key resource; climate effects on mercury bioaccumulation in chars are also investigated in parallel with these...
