IMOS - ABOS Deepwater Arrays (DA) Sub-facility, Polynya array, Polynya1 Mooring Platform
The Polynya1 (Mertz region) deepwater mooring was deployed on 2011-01-23 at (-66.20 S, 143.47 E) off the Adelie Land Coast in Antarctica, and was recovered in January 2015. In February 2014 a second array was deployed in a new location near the Totten Glacier.\n\nInstrumentation includes 75kHz Acous...
