Collection and Processing of Shipboard ADCP Velocities from the Barents Sea Polar Front Experiment
The Barents Sea Polar Front Experiment was a combined physical oceanography and acoustic tomography field study which took place from 6-26 August 1992. Both shipboard and moored data were collected in a 80 x 70 km experimental region on the south flank of Spitsbergen Bank about 60 km east of Bear Is...
