      The ArcLight observatory provides hourly continuous time series of light regime data (intensity, spectral composition, and photoperiod) from the Arctic, Svalbard at 79° N. Until now, no complete annual time series of biologically relevant light has been provided from the high Arctic due to insufficient sensitivity of commercial light sensors during the Polar Night. We describe a camera system providing ...
    • Midnight Sun to Polar Night: A Model of Seasonal Light in the Barents Sea 

      Connan-McGinty, Stacey; Banas, Neil S.; Berge, Jørgen; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Grant, Stephen; Johnsen, Geir; Kopec, Tomasz Piotr; Porter, Marie; Mckee, David (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-20)
      Arctic marine ecosystems are strongly influenced by the extreme seasonality of light in the region. Accurate determination of light is essential for building a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of animal and aquatic algae populations. Current approaches to underwater light field parameterisations rely upon shortwave radiation (300–3000 nm) estimates from satellites or surface radiometry ...
