Ocean Profile Measurements During the Seasonal Ice Zone Reconnaissance Surveys
The overarching objectives for SIZRS are to determine seasonal variations in air-ice-ocean characteristics across the BCSIZ extending over several years and for a variety of SIZ conditions, investigate and test hypotheses about the physical processes that occur within the BCSIZ that require data fro...
