The Sea Ice Dynamics Experiment was a field campaign in the Beaufort Sea during February to April 2021. The field experiment was designed to investigate the interaction of ice stress, strain, and fracture over meter-to-kilometer spatial scales as ice fractured and subsequently deformed. Observations were collected in situ at an ice camp, using autonomous buoys, and with remote sensing. Observations were collected over a variety of scales, including scales larger than the target meter (m) to kilometer (km) scale. This dataset is one facet of the multi-modal data package collected together in this parent archive. This dataset contains 12 quality-controlled drift tracks from high-precision satellite positioning (SATICE) buoys deployed on sea ice within about 100 km of the Sea Ice Dynamic Experiment (SIDEx) camp. Buoy deployments began on 2021 March 2 and was completed by 2021 March 12. Between then and March 18, buoys were deployed to monitor ice deformation over roughly a 2 km region about the camp. The ...
