| Summary: | Time-series data from the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Autonomous Ocean Flux Buoy (AOFB) #5. This buoy was deployed at the 2006 North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO) ice camp 27 April 2006. The buoy drifted across the Eurasian Basins and exited the Arctic Ocean through Fram Strait. The time series ended on 30 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 (ADCP). Additional information about the NPS AOFB program, including real-time data from active buoys, is available at: http://www.oc.nps.edu/~stanton/fluxbuoy
