UpTempO buoys deployed in 2015
Ice-based buoys exist that can measure temperature profiles, but these are not optimized for observing the open sea. Thus the objective of this proposal is to fill this gap in the Arctic Observing Network (AON) measurement strategy, i.e., to measure the time history of summer warming and subsequent...
