Microstructure Casts during AIWEX (Arctic Internal Wave Experiment). A Summary
The Arctic Internal Wave Experience (AIWEX) was designed to study the internal wave and microstructure fields in in the Beaufort Sea in the early spring. A major goal of the experiment was to verify the hypothesis that the internal wave and microstructure fields beneath the ice are far less energeti...
