Database of the Operational Drifter Observations in the Arctic Region
The database (formed in MHI) for 22 drifters deployed in the Arctic region in 2012 – 2016 is represented. The most intensive drifter observations were performed in the Beaufort Sea (the Canada Basin) and in the Central Arctic. According to the data of temperature-profiling drifters, ∼ 2 million temp...

The database (formed in MHI) for 22 drifters deployed in the Arctic region in 2012 – 2016 is represented.

According to the data of temperature-profiling drifters, ∼ 2 million temperature profiles (including the ones acquired under the ice formations) and ∼ 120.000 atmospheric pressure measurements were obtained. Total life time of drifters as at August 2016 exceeded 7000 days. General information and technical characteristics of BTC60/GPS/ice/1ps, BTC60/GPS/ice/3ps, SVP-BTC80/GPS temperature-profiling drifters are given. Features of drifter information primary preparation are enumerated and the technique of database quality assessment is shown. The studies have shown that temperature-profiling data provides the assessment of the ice thickness and its spatial-temporal variability in the region.
