| Summary: | American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, 12-16 December 2022, Chicago An array of twelve high-precision satellite positioning buoys (a,k,a, SATICE buoys) were deployed forming a small-scale network during the Sea Ice Dynamics Experiment (SIDEx) 2021 campaign on the Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean, to study sea ice drift, deformation, and fracture. A SATICE buoy is an autonomous, continuously operating, ice-anchored, geodetic-quality, global navigation satellite system (GNSS; i.e., GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo) receiving unit with near-real-time data download capabilities via Iridium satellite constellation. The buoys are also equipped with miscellaneous meteorological and geophysical sensors such as three-dimensional (3D) accelerometer and gyroscope. In this presentation, the engineering designs, mechanical, electrical, and software that went behind the successful deployment and operations of the SATICE-buoy network, along with the lessons learned, will be presented Peer reviewed
