| Summary: | The Sea Ice Dynamics Experiment (SIDEx) 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 (m) to kilometer (km) 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 m to km scale. This dataset is one facet of the multi-modal data package collected together in this parent archive. This dataset contains 30 quality-controlled drift tracks from Global Positioning System (GPS) buoys deployed on sea ice within about 100 km of the SIDEx camp. GPS buoy deployments began during the camp site selection flights on 26 February 2021. Between then and March 18, buoys were deployed to monitor horizontal ice deformation on cascading scales from about 5 km to 100 km. On March 6 a 5 km radius ring ... |
