Description
Summary:An analysis of upward looking and sidescan sonar data collected by the Royal Navy in a series of submarine voyages between 1976 and 1996 will be carried out and presented in an agreed statistical format for comparison with U.S. datasets in collaboration with Dr. W. B. Tucker III at CRREL (U.S./UK agreements on data presentation). The analyzed data will be included in an international data management system to permit greater coverage of the Arctic Basin for the study of changes to the ice cover in response to climate variation.
