Omnidirectional data from seasonal and short-term (several days), depth-dependent ambient sea-noise measurements in the 20-to-600-Hz band near the marginal ice zone were recorded in the deepwater basin of the Greenland Sea. Two bottom-anchored, self-supporting buoys, one of which recorded acoustic d...
