Description
Summary:This is the raw position data for ice-tethered buoys deployed in the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition Distributed Network (DN). The largest ever network of autonomous ice-tethered buoys was deployed as a DN surrounding the MOSAiC Central Observatory (CO). This extensive network of 112 Global Positioning System (GPS) buoys and 12 multi-instrumented ice stations captured the annual cycle of Arctic sea ice drift and deformation for the first time as the DN traversed the Transpolar Drift Stream. GPS position data from buoys deployed during the year-long MOSAiC experiment capture sea ice drift and deformation at spatial scales ranging from 100s of meters to 200 kilometers (km) from late September 2019 into 2021. Raw data files have been updated to include the last of the data collected by buoys that were still operational after the initial download and processing.
