The ablation zone in northeast Greenland: ice types, albedos and impurities

Ice types, albedos and impurity content are characterized for the ablation zone of the Greenland ice sheet in Kronprinz Christians Land (808N, 248W). Along this ice margin the width of the ablation zone is only about 8 km. The emergence and melting of old ice in the ablation zone creates a surface layer of dust that was originally deposited with snowfall high on the ice sheet. This debris cover...

The Northeast Greenland Shelf as a Potential Habitat for the Northeast Arctic Cod

Observations (1978–1991) of distributions of pelagic juvenile Northeast Arctic cod (Gadus morhua L.) show that up to 1/3 of the year class are dispersed off the continental shelf and into the deep Norwegian Sea while on the way from the spring-spawning areas along the Norwegian coast to the autumn-settlement areas in the Barents Sea. The fate of this variable fraction of pelagic juveniles off-s...

Atmospheric black carbon and sulfate concentrations in Northeast Greenland

Measurements of equivalent black carbon (EBC) in aerosols at the high Arctic field site Villum Research Station (VRS) at Station Nord in North Greenland showed a seasonal variation in EBC concentrations with a maximum in winter and spring at ground level. Average measured concentrations were about 0.067± 0.071 for the winter and 0.011± 0.009 for the summer period. These data were obtained using...

Microstructural evolution of helium-implanted a-SiC

Helium has a decisive effect on the microstructure of silicon carbide materials after implantation and subsequent annealing. A dense population of bubbles and dislocation loops is already observed at relatively low displacement doses after annealing of helium-implanted a-SiC, while no visible damage appears after irradiation without helium implantation under otherwise equal conditions. The defe...
