Date of data analysis: Statistical analyses conducted throughout the 2023 year 

Information about funding sources that supported the collection of the data: 
The research was supported by the Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System at Princeton University under Award NA18OAR4320123 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and by the US National Science Foundation under award number AGS 2128345. Also, it was supported by the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship from the U.S. Department of Defense and Army Research Office. Similarly, the National Science Foundation provided support to complete the PHOXMELT field studies (Grant PLR- 1417914) to collect the data. Also, the study was supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF-AGS-2028633) and the Department of Energy (DE-SC0022072).

DATA & FILE OVERVIEW

This dataset contains the observational data for the two field experiments in .nc file format. 


1- Barrow_Data.nc 2a- Wendell_Stable_Data.nc (Stable periods) 2-b Wendell_Unstable_Data.nc (Unstable periods for Appendix A plots)

>>>

1- Barrow_Data.nc: 62 variables for all stable periods 

e.g., 

Barrow_EC_heat: Observed heat flux (K.m/s)
Barrow_VCC_heat: VCC heat flux     (K.m/s)
Barrow_ACC_heat: ACC heat flux     (K.m/s) 
Barrow_REA_heat: REA heat flux     (K.m/s) 
Barrow_A22_heat: A22 heat flux     (K.m/s)
Barrow_MOST_heat:MOST heat flux    (K.m/s)

Etc

.
.
.
.

Acronym Definitions:

QH: stands for heat flux (K.m/s)
Taw: stands for momentum flux (m^2/s^2)

Filter 0: implies no filtering
Filter 1: implies a filter-width of ∆ = 1 second
Filter 2: implies a filter-width of ∆ = 2 seconds
.
.
.

e.g., 

Beta_QH_Distribution_Filter1: Exact βs for QH when the filter-width ∆ = 1 second
.
.
.
.

Filter1_norm_advectivetime: filter-width of ∆ = 1 second normalized by the advective time scale
.
.
.
.

Barrow_Zetta_window_train_All: Stability measure ζ

Barrow_I_k_QH_train_All: The integral timescale τ_int (sec) for each period’s co-spectrum here for QH

>>>>>

Similarly for 2a- Wendell_Stable_Data.nc (Stable periods) 2-b Wendell_Unstable_Data.nc (Unstable periods), but here there are also the scalar fluxes i.e.,

QCO2: stands for CO_2 flux (g/m^2.s)
QNH3: stands for NH_3 flux (g/m^2.s)
QH2O: stands for H_2O flux (g/m^2.s)

These data are given in a netcdf format (.nc). One is able to download.
