Long-term oceanic observatories (moorings) in the Beaufort Sea during the Canadian Arctic Shelf Exchange Study, 2002-2004
Eight moorings were deployed in the Beaufort Sea during autumn 2002 and were recovered in autumn 2003. In autumn 2003, 16 moorings were deployed and recovered in autumn 2004. Mooring sites included: Mackenzie Shelf (North-Western to North-Eastern), Mackenzie Shelf slope, Kugmallit Valley, Canada Bas...
