Mooring and Drifting Buoy Data: Beaufort Gyre Freshwater Experiment, 2003
In the summer of 2003, investigators established an observational program to measure the freshwater content (in sea ice and in the ocean) of freshwater fluxes in the Beaufort Gyre using moorings and drifting buoys. They collected temperature time series, salinity, current, sea ice draft, and bottom...
