With the aid of an innovative unmanned aerial system (UAS), referred to as an Aerosonde, an intensive late winter / early spring observing period will be conducted that will quantify the surface energy budget components over the polynya and adjacent sea ice and describe the forcing for and near surface properties of regional mesoscale atmospheric flows responsible for polynya formation.
