Description
Summary:Most of the work this year was involved with processing the data of MIZEX-83 and MIZEX-84 experiments in the Greenland Sea. MIZEX-83 was a pilot study program where ice kinematics data could be collected for about ten days. (see Fourth Interim Report). Ocean current measurements were made simultaneously by the Univ. of Bergen, and they had three stations in the same ice floes as we had transponders for the ice kinematics study. MIZEX-84 was the main summer experiment of the MIZEX program. Iced kinematics data was collected for forty days from R/V Polarqueen, which was the main drifting station. A manuscript was prepared on one-dimensional modeling studies of ice drift in the marginal ice drift in the marginal ice zone.
