This report presents moored observations of velocity, temperature, and conductivity made at the 'O' Camp during CEAREX (Coordinated Eastern Arctic Experiment). The measurements were made in the Arctic ocean, near 83 deg N and 5 to 11 deg E, from sensors suspended below the ice during March-April 1989. A variety of instruments were deployed: 7 current meters, 11 temperature sensors, 9 conductivity sensors, 5 temperature-conductivity recorders, and 1 acoustic Doppler profiler. The measurements were made between the surface and 250 m depth; horizontal separations ranged from 75 to 500 m.
