Seafloor bathymetry map of the Aasiaat region, Western Greenland, measured as part of the "Greenland Rising" project. The project is a US National Science Foundation funded collaboration between Columbia University and the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources with a goal to map shallow-water areas around coastal communities. Mapping was undertaken from the vessel "Sanna" in July-August 2020 and from a smaller charter vessel in July 2021 to map shallow-water regions. Datasets from both surveys have been merged to a single grid.

Abstract High‐field preclinical functional MRI (fMRI) is enabled the high spatial resolution mapping of vessel‐specific hemodynamic responses, that is single‐vessel fMRI. In contrast to investigating the neuronal sources of the fMRI signal, single‐vessel fMRI focuses on elucidating its vascular origin, which can be readily implemented to identify vascular changes relevant to vascular dementia or cognitive impairment. However, the limited spatial and temporal resolution of fMRI is hindered hemodynamic mapping of intracortical microvessels. Here, the radial encoding MRI scheme is implemented to measure BOLD signals of individual vessels penetrating the rat somatosensory cortex. Radial encoding MRI is employed to map cortical activation with a focal field of view (FOV), allowing vessel‐specific functional mapping with 50 × 50 µm2in‐plane resolution at a 1 to 2 Hz sampling rate. Besides detecting refined hemodynamic responses of intracortical micro‐venules, the radial encoding‐based single‐vessel fMRI enables the distinction of fMRI signals from vessel and peri‐vessel voxels due to the different contribution of intravascular and extravascular effects.more » « less

null (Ed.)Abstract The Iceland Greenland Seas Project (IGP) is a coordinated atmosphere–ocean research program investigating climate processes in the source region of the densest waters of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. During February and March 2018, a field campaign was executed over the Iceland and southern Greenland Seas that utilized a range of observing platforms to investigate critical processes in the region, including a research vessel, a research aircraft, moorings, sea gliders, floats, and a meteorological buoy. A remarkable feature of the field campaign was the highly coordinated deployment of the observing platforms, whereby the research vessel and aircraft tracks were planned in concert to allow simultaneous sampling of the atmosphere, the ocean, and their interactions. This joint planning was supported by tailor-made convection-permitting weather forecasts and novel diagnostics from an ensemble prediction system. The scientific aims of the IGP are to characterize the atmospheric forcing and the ocean response of coupled processes; in particular, cold-air outbreaks in the vicinity of the marginal ice zone and their triggering of oceanic heat loss, and the role of freshwater in the generation of dense water masses. The campaign observed the life cycle of a long-lasting cold-air outbreak over the Iceland Sea and the development of a cold-air outbreak over the Greenland Sea. Repeated profiling revealed the immediate impact on the ocean, while a comprehensive hydrographic survey provided a rare picture of these subpolar seas in winter. A joint atmosphere–ocean approach is also being used in the analysis phase, with coupled observational analysis and coordinated numerical modeling activities underway.more » « less

Measurements were conducted to determine the carbonyl sulfide levels in ancient air preserved in the Greenland ice sheet using samples from the GISP2D and GISP2B ice cores from Summit, Greenland. The GISP2D is a fluid-drilled core and the GISP2B is a dry-drilled core. This data set includes four CSV files. Most of the measurements are from the GISP2D ice core and 3 out of the 4 data files associated with this submission include data from the GISP2D. Both dry and wet extraction methods were used to extract the ice core air. All dry extraction-based GISP2D data are presented in one file. The wet extraction-based data are split between 3 data files: 1) GISP2B data, 2) shallow GISP2D data, 3) deep GISP2D data. The shallow and deep wet extraction-based GISP2D data are presented in 2 separate files despite including some overlapping depths because the measurements were conducted over different time periods. All data are depth-coded and presented "as measured" with associated 1 sigma uncertainties after having gone through a preliminary quality control and having been finalized in terms of calibration. Note that the wet extraction-based measurements require a solubility correction before they can be compared with the dry extraction-based measurements from the same depths.more » « less
