Description
Summary:The paper summarizes and reviews an experiment conducted in the Arctic Basin by Soviet scientists in spring 1961. The purpose of the experiment was to study the drift and dynamics of the ice cover. Observations were performed simultaneously at seven manned stations operating at different points in the Arctic Basin. The data obtained gives some insights into the behavior of pack ice under the influence of wind and water stress. (Author) Trans. of Arkticheskii i Antarkticheskii Nauchno-Issledovatelskii Institut.
