Observing the Dynamics of the Deepest Waters in the Arctic Ocean
The goal of this research is to measure explicitly the horizontal and vertical motion in the deep Canada Basin over one year. The researchers will add instruments to the deep portion of two moorings that are scheduled to be deployed in the Canada Basin for one International Polar Year (IPY) (2007-20...
