Description
Summary:During the 1970 AIDJEX Pilot Study, the University of Washington oceanographic study explored possible techniques for measuring water stress on the ice and ice deformation. The specific experiments outlined for the pilot study were: (1) The measurement of the time-dependent velocity and Reynolds stress fields in the nonuniform turbulent boundary layer under the ice; (2) current measurements to relate the deeper flows to those in the boundary layer; (3) to measure the approach to geostrophy of the flow; and (4) accurate positioning of the two satellite stations as well as of the main station, so that the deformation of the triangle could be followed.
