Mooring Camp CTD Casts 2001-2004
As part of the North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO), an oceanographic mooring is anchored to the ocean floor beneath the drifting ice. Vertically distributed instruments measure ocean properties at fixed depths, recording internally since satellite telemetry cannot reach beneath the ice. The...
