Sea ice drift off Queen Maud Land, Antarctica
Characteristics of sea ice drift off Queen Maud Land are described on the basis of the Argos buoy deployed on the ice floe in the pack ice region off Syowa Station on February 20,1992. The drift of the buoy is consistently westward with some variability. Averaged velocity of westward drift is about...
