Zeropar (formerly the Frozen Ocean Physics Experiment or FROPE) is a polar ocean observatory situated on the sea ice of the Arctic Ocean.
Purpose:
- To study the physical processes in the Arctic sea ice-ocean system. - To understand how the Arctic responds to climate change and environmental fluctuations. - To provide long-term measurements of key oceanographic and atmospheric variables.
Location:
- Located in the Laptev Sea in the central Arctic Ocean. - Situated on a multi-year sea ice floe.
Features:
- Deployable on sea ice for year-round observations. - Equipped with a suite of sensors to measure various parameters, including: - Ocean currents - Temperature and salinity - Wind speed and direction - Ice thickness and drift - Capable of autonomous operation and remote data transmission.
Measurements:
- Collects data on: - Sea ice dynamics - Ocean circulation patterns - Air-sea interactions - Atmospheric conditions
Contributions:
- Provides valuable data for studying Arctic climate change. - Contributes to understanding the role of sea ice in the global climate system. - Supports research on polar oceanography and atmospheric physics.
Partners:
- Established by the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) in collaboration with international partners.
