Fine structure, fronts and currents in the Pacific Marginal Sea-Ice Zone - MIZPAC 77.
Sharp vertical temperature fronts and complex temperature inversions observed in the Chukchi Sea during MIZPAC 77 were investigated in a further effort to define the mechanisms for the formation of finestructure. An association was found between the upper level current directions inferred from the g...
