Iceland Greenland Seas Project (IGP): water isotope measurements from the University of Iceland vapour isotope analyzer at Húsavik and samples of precipitation and surface snow in Iceland and southern Norway within SNOWPACE
This dataset contains measurements of the water vapour isotope composition of ambient vapour obtained from a water vapour isotope analyzer manufactured by Los Gatos Research (LGR), and from discrete sampling of surface snow and precipitation and subsequent laboratory analysis. The analyzer was installed in the harbour of Húsavik, Iceland. Discrete sampling included precipitation and surface snow from two surface transects in northern Iceland and in several locations in southern Norway. The LGR LWIA analyzer is an off-axis cavity ring-down spectrometer using infrared absorption bands for the retrieval of the water isotope ratios for H216O, H218O, and HDO, quantified as mixing ratio of water vapour (w, ppmv), delta 18-O, and delta-D (permil). The data set for the Húsavik station is accompanied by automatic weather station data (air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, sea-level pressure) from the Icelandic weather service (vedur.is) for several nearby locations. For further details and figures for the vapour measurements, and the surface sample collection during the campaign, and processing thereafter, please read the attached documentation.
This research is funded by the Research Council of Norway under the Sources of the Norwegian winter season snow pack constrained by stable water isotopes - SNOWPACE project (Project Nr. 262710) and the Facility for advanced isotopic research and monitoring of weather, climate and biogeochemical cycling (FARLAB) project (Project Nr. 245907).
