Environmental Oceanography of the Arctic Ocean and Its Marginal Seas

During 1996, we successfully collected, for the first time, export flux of carbon and other tracers from the permanently ice covered high Arctic through 12 months of the year in high time resolution; this high quality meteorological and oceanographic data was transmitted from a telemetering Ice Ocea...

Description
Summary:During 1996, we successfully collected, for the first time, export flux of carbon and other tracers from the permanently ice covered high Arctic through 12 months of the year in high time resolution; this high quality meteorological and oceanographic data was transmitted from a telemetering Ice Ocean Environmental Buoy (IOEB) with 68 sensors, deployed right above the time series trap mooring. This success will lead us into a quantum leap toward the understanding of biogeochemical cycles in the high Arctic Ocean. The first Russian, US naval joint cruise failed to survey the Northern Sea of Okhotsk, however, assisted by SakhNIRO, Salhaline, Russia, we have been able to continue the vital investigation of this fascinating ocean. Our publication focused on the productivity, eddy formation in the Arctic Basin and the Okhotsk Sea's dichothermal layer.
