The oceanographic program of the 1975-1976 Arctic ice dynamic joint experiment (AIDJEX) was designed to investigate the Arctic Ocean on space scales of 100 kilometers in the horizontal and hundreds of meters in the vertical. This was accomplished with oceanographic observations from a triangular arr...
