Description:

Abstract:

The T-3 (Fletcher's) Ice Island in the Arctic Ocean was the site of a scientific research station re-established by the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory starting in 1962. Starting in 1963, the USGS acquired marine heat flow data and coincident sediment cores at sites in Canada Basin, Nautilus Basin, Mendeleev Ridge, and Alpha Ridge as the ice island drifted in the Amerasian Basin. Radiogenic heat content in sediments can be an important contributor to measured heat flow. The USGS therefore measured radiogenic heat content in sediments recovered at 26 of the attempted/successful heat flow measurement sites using the laboratory methods available at the time. This dataset reports the measured radiogenic heat values and converts them to modern (SI) units.

Purpose:

To provide radiogenic heat content at 26 locations where heat flow measurements were attempted by the USGS in the Arctic Ocean between 1963 and 1973.

Supplemental_Information:

This dataset is Table 1 in: Lachenbruch, A.H., Marshall, B.V., and Ruppel, C.D., 2019, Post-expedition report for USGS T-3 Ice Island heat flow measurements in the High Arctic Ocean, 1963-1973: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P91XQ3IS. Associated with field activity 1063-001-FA ( https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=1963-001-FA ). Data are retained in original non-SI mass heat units and converted to SI mass units. Conversion to modern units of volumetric heating due to radiogenic content requires assumption of a density and is not included here.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

no information available. **Version 1.1 corrected a data point latitude value. See processing step for additional information.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Data fall within reasonable ranges for sediments believed to be present in the Arctic Ocean.

Completeness_Report:

Radiogenic heat values are determined only for a subset of all the cores recovered in the Arctic Ocean during the USGS T-3 heat flow expedition. The data are assumed to represent results for all of the radiogenic heat content analyses performed by the USGS.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Background on navigation is summarized in: Hunkins, K., and W. Tiemann (1977), Geophysical data summary for Fletcher's Ice Island (T-3), 1962-1974, Technical Report, Lamont-Doherty Survey of the World Ocean Rep. CU-1-77, 219 pp, Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and in the cross-referenced Journal of Geophysical Research paper (Ruppel and others, 2019) associated with this release. See also "T-3 Ice Island One Hour Navigation: May 14, 1962 to September 15, 1974" within this data release. Before 1967, navigation relied on theodolite fixes of the sun (summer) and stars (winter) coupled with a chronometer that was frequently checked for accuracy via radio. Hunkins and Tiemann [1977] estimate a positional error of up to 1 km during the summer and 0.5 km in the winter for this period. Starting in 1967, satellite data from the Navy Navigation Satellite System provided positional fixes, and Hunkins and Tiemann [1977] estimate that positions were known within 250 m. Based on the years of the island's occupation, the horizontal datum is assumed to be NAD27.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The depths reported in the data table accompanying the Lachenbruch and others (2019)--see cross-reference--are apparently line-out depths for the heat flow apparatus. No additional information with regards to depth measurements is indicated, and no vertical coordinate system is specified. Note that Hunkins and Tiemann (1977) also collected depth measurements using seismic and subbottom profiling systems and these are reported in "T-3 Ice Island One Hour Navigation: May 14, 1962 to September 15, 1974" as part of this data release. It is not known whether these depth measurements were adopted for the heat flow and radiogenic heat datasets.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Radiogenic heat content for sediments from cores recovered at selected attempted heat flow measurement sites in the Arctic Ocean was determined using gamma ray spectrometric methods by Carl Bunker of the U.S. Geological Survey in Denver, Colorado. The methodology is described in: (1) Bunker, C. M., and Bush, C. A., 1966, Uranium, thorium, and radium analyses by gamma-ray spectrometry (0.184-0.352 million electron volts): U.S. Geol. Survey Prof. Paper 550-B, p. Bl76-181; and (2) Bunker, C. M., and Bush, C. A., 1967, A comparison of potassium analyses by gamma-ray spectrometry and other techniques: U.S. Geol. Survey Prof. Paper 575-B p. B164-Bl69. All the cores analyzed were recovered between 1963 and 1968, as determined by correlation with other published datasets (for example, University of Wisconsin-Department of Geosciences (2016) NCEI data release--see cross-reference). Process date are unknown so are designated as last day of the inferred year of the corresponding report (Lachenbruch and others, 2019; see cross-reference)

Process_Date: 19741231

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Data were manually entered into an Excel file. Latitudes and longitudes recorded by Table 1 of Lachenbruch and others (2019)--see cross-reference--in degree-minute format were converted to decimal degrees. Radiogenic heat content for sediments from cores recovered at selected attempted heat flow measurement sites in the Arctic Ocean were converted from their original radiogenic heat mass units of microcalories/(gram-year) to modern (SI) radiogenic heat mass units of Watts per kilogram. The original radiogenic heat mass units are multiplied by 1000 g/kg and by 4.1868 Watts/calorie and divided by 3.15576e7 seconds per year to convert to Watts per kilogram.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

An error was found in the data file where the latitude of station 1 was incorrect. In comparing the data file to the PDF of the original publication (Table 1 in Lachenbruch, A.H., Marshall, B.V., and Ruppel, C.D., 2019, Post-expedition report for USGS T-3 Ice Island heat flow measurements in the High Arctic Ocean, 1963-1973: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P91XQ3IS .) it was discovered that station 1 should have a latitude of 82.5, not 83.5 as in the original data release. The XLSX file was updated and saved in Microsoft Excel 365 with a new filename reflecting the new version (T3Radiogenic_ver1_1.xlsx). The CSV was creating using 'save as' an MS-DOS CSV file. Additionally, the browse graphic was redone and saved as a PNG file.

Attribute_Definition:

Core/heat flow penetration number (station number). Usually cited as "FL-" followed by this ID number in publications and databases. Note that not all station numbers used here correspond to a successful heat flow measurements. This means that core was recovered, but a heat flow measurement was not recorded, at some stations. Stations where radiogenic heat was determined, but no heat flow recorded, are FL-1, FL-7, FL-84, FL-101, FL-112, FL-183, FL-228, and FL-280. Note that FL-1 is not marked as lacking heat flow in Table 1 of the original Lachenbruch and others (2019)--see cross-reference--document, but FL-1 is lacking from Table 2 (heat flow) of that report, which documents only stations at which heat flow measurements were successful.
