The Oceanographic Cruise of the USCGC GLACIER to the Marginal Sea-Ice Zone of the Chukchi Sea--MIZPAC 78.

This report presents the data and briefly describes the oceanographic results of the cruise of the USCGC GLACIER to the marginal sea-ice zone of the Chukchi Sea during the period 14 to 28 July 1978. A brief analysis is presented which shows yearly recurring ice bays presumed to be due to bathymetric...

Description
Summary:This report presents the data and briefly describes the oceanographic results of the cruise of the USCGC GLACIER to the marginal sea-ice zone of the Chukchi Sea during the period 14 to 28 July 1978. A brief analysis is presented which shows yearly recurring ice bays presumed to be due to bathymetric steering of warm currents. The relationship of upper and lower level temperature fronts to each other and their association with temperature finestructure is described. Plots of temperature, salinity, density and sound speed are presented for each station. A detailed discussion of salinity spike removal and data editing routines changed since the last report is presented in Appendix A.
