Description
Summary:Time-series data from the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Autonomous Ocean Flux Buoy (AOFB) #10. This buoy was deployed from the CCG Louis St. Laurent in the Beaufort Sea on 04 September 2006. The buoy drifted in the Beaufort Gyre, with the time series ended on 05 January 2007. The buoy measured velocity, temperature, salinity, and the vertical turbulent fluxes of heat, salt, and momentum in the ocean surface mixed layer with a custom-built sensor package about 5 m below the ice-ocean interface. The buoy also measured vertical profiles of ocean currents with an RD instruments 600 kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler.
