Abstract: SALARGOS buoys that measure upper-ocean temperature and salinity in ice-covered seas have been collecting data in the Arctic basin for several years. The buoys consist of a 300-m-long string of six temperature-conductivity ...

Abstract: The authors show that vertical turbulent fluxes in the upper ocean can be measured directly with an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). A horizontal profile of vertical water velocity is obtained by applying a Kalman ...

Abstract: o understand the factors causing the interannual variations in the summer retreat of the Beaufort Sea ice edge, Seasonal Ice Zone Reconnaissance Surveys (SIZRS) aboard U.S. Coast Guard Arctic Domain Awareness flights were ...

Abstract: A thermistor chain was moored below the pack ice from 50?150 m in the Arctic Ocean for five days in 1981. Oscillations in temperature are attributed to the vertical dispalcement of internal waves. The spectral shape of ...

Abstract: Seasonal sea ice, which plays a pivotal role in air?sea interaction in the Weddell Sea (a region of large deep-water formation with potential impact on climate), depends critically on heat flux from the deep ocean. During ...

Abstract: A practical method for determining the CTD thermal-lag correction amplitude α and time constant τ is presented. The method is based upon minimizing the salinity separation of temperature-salinity curves from upcasts and ...

Abstract: easurements of ocean bottom pressure (OBP) anomalies from the satellite mission Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), complemented by information from two ocean models, are used to investigate the variations and ...

Abstract: Although certain regions of the Arctic have experienced periods of decadal warming during the last 100 years, recent decades show an ongoing suite of Arctic-wide, interrelated atmospheric, oceanic, terrestrial, and human ...

Abstract: A summary is presented of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA) project, with a focus on the field experiment that was conducted from October 1997 to October 1998. The primary objective of the field work was ...
