Description
Summary:Time-series data from the Naval Postgraduate (NPS) School Autonomous Ocean Flux Buoy (AOFB) #11. This buoy was deployed at the 2007 North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO) ice camp 28 April 2007. The buoy drifted across the Eurasian Basins and exited the Arctic Ocean through Fram Strait. The time series ended on 18 December 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.
