Switchyard UW CTD data
The Switchyard project is a program to study circulation (sea ice and upper ocean) in the region between Alert (Ellesmere Island) and the North Pole, through a series of annual springtime hydrographic surveys, moorings, and sea ice analyses.

The Switchyard project is a program to study circulation (sea ice and upper ocean) in the region between Alert (Ellesmere Island) and the North Pole, through a series of annual springtime hydrographic surveys, moorings, and sea ice analyses. These University of Washington (UW) Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) data were collected using a combination of helicopters and Twin Otter aircraft. In 2003-2006, data were collected by helicopter landing on the sea ice near a lead, where a small winch was used to lower a Seabird (SBE) 19 plus CTD (with dissolved oxygen sensor) down to 500m. Data were collected on a Soutwest-Nnortheast section across the continental slope centered at about 65W, 84N, and also at other locations in the Lincoln Sea as the opportunity presented itself. In 2007, poor weather conditions precluded safe helicopter operations and no UW CTD data were collected. Beginning in 2008 and continuing through 2012, a Twin Otter was used by the UW team to collect CTD profiles as deep as 1000m within a 500 km radius of Alert.
