Toward Developing an Arctic Observing Network: An Array of Surface Buoys to Sample Turbulent Ocean Heat and Salt Fluxes During the IPY
This project will deploy ocean flux buoys in the Arctic ocean as part of a group effort to contribute to the goals of the IPY and the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) project by: (1) implementing automated monitoring of oceanic fluxes that, along with their atmospheric counterparts, det...
