The horizontal position of the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) during the ARTofMELT2023 expedition in May and June 2023 was measured using an acoustic Long Base Line (LBL) positioning system (LinkQuest Pinpoint) with an operating frequency of 26.77-44.62kHz. It consists of a transceiver onboard the ROV and 3 transponders which were deployed on 5 m long chains through the drifting ice cover at different horizontal distances from the ROV ice access hole. Due to the high latitude and glitches in the Pinpoint software's coordinate conversions, the surveys were virtually moved and 'fake' geographic positions centered around 1°N/1°E were used. The survey track was smoothed using a Kalman filter from initial acoustic fixes and cleaned for most obvious outliers. This calibration result in a floe-fixed, relative coordinate system (distance, relative, X and distance, relative, Y) with the origin (X=0 m, Y=0 m) at the ROV hole. The final position was recorded in the SPOT.ON survey systems software (OceanModulesTM). A ...
