Recent Data

  1. 2024 Arctic Araon Cruise (ARA15B) - Locations of sediment cores (multiple and gravity cores)

    During the ARA15B expedition, sediment cores were collected for various scientific research purposes, including studies on the methane cycle, mineralogy, paleontology, microbiology, and organic geochemistry.

  2. New Catalogue of Thwaites Glacier Subglacial Lakes and Their Activity Revealed by CryoSat-2 Altimetry

    This dataset presents a new catalogue of active subglacial lakes beneath Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica, identified using CryoSat-2 satellite radar altimetry. It details the boundaries, areas, and elevation changes of each lake, complete with 95% confidence intervals. The dataset also contains estimates of ice speed changes in the TG's grounding zone. For citation purposes, refer to the article by B-H Kim, C-K Lee*, K-W Seo, W S Lee, and J-W Park, 'New Catalogue of Thwaites Glacier Subglacial Lakes and Their Activity Revealed by CryoSat-2 Altimetry,' currently under revision for the Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface. For more information, Dr. Choon-Ki Lee can be contacted at cklee@kopri.re.kr.

  3. Inorganic carbon parameters (TA & pH) in the Arctic Ocean (ARA08A & ARA08B)

    This dataset contains processed data aimed at analyzing the relationship between the morphological characteristics of Arctic pteropods and inorganic carbon parameters (TA and pH) in the Arctic Ocean. It was collected during the ARA08A and ARA08B expeditions.

  1. New Catalogue of Thwaites Glacier Subglacial Lakes and Their Activity Revealed by CryoSat-2 Altimetry

    This dataset unveils a newly compiled catalogue of active subglacial lakes beneath the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, as detected through the CryoSat-2 satellite radar altimetry. The catalogue meticulously details each lake, outlining its boundaries, area, and elevation changes along with their 95% confidence intervals for precise scientific referencing. For citation purposes, please refer to the following article: B-H Kim, C-K Lee*, K-W Seo, W S Lee, and J-W Park. "New Catalogue of Thwaites Glacier Subglacial Lakes and Their Activity Revealed by CryoSat-2 Altimetry," currently under revision for the Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface. Should you have any inquiries or require further information, Dr. Choon-Ki Lee is available at cklee@kopri.re.kr and would be pleased to assist.

  2. 2D airglow intensity and mesopause temperature from MTM, 2023

    Two dimensional OH airglow intensity and temperature around 87km altitude at King Sejong Station, Antarctica. Studies of the atmospheric wave activities and mesopause temperature tendency in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) over the southern high latitude.

  3. Antarctic ice mass change (2003-2020) jointly estimated by satellite gravimetry and altimetry

    This dataset complements the work of Kim et al. (2024), providing gridded ice mass change data for Antarctica, with a resolution of 27km, from January 2003 to December 2020. The dataset was estimated using the constrained linear deconvolution (CLD) method developed by Kim et al. (2022), which integrates satellite gravimetry (GRACE) and altimetry data. The data sampling aligns with the timeframe of the GRACE and GRACE-FO observations. Further information about this dataset can be found in the following publications: B-H Kim, K-W Seo, C-K Lee, J-S Kim, J Chen, and C R Wilson. "Antarctic ice mass change (2003-2016) jointly estimated by satellite gravimetry and altimetry" Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2022. B-H Kim et al. "Partitioning the drivers of Antarctic glacier mass balance (2003-2020) using satellite observations and a climate model" Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, in revision. 2024 Overview ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Data Format: MATLAB binary data container format (.mat) Coordinate System: Polar Stereographic South (Standard longitude = 0, standard latitude = -71) Spatial Resolution: 27km (nominal) Temporal Resolution: Monthly (GRACE & GRACE-FO sampling interval) Temporal Coverage: January 2003 - December 2020 Unit: Millimeter water equivalent (mmH2O) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
