This report presents the data and briefly describes the oceanographic results of the cruise of the USCGC GLACIER to the marginal sea-ice zone of the Chukchi Sea during the period l h to 28 July 1978. A brief analysis is presented which shows yearly recurring ice bays presumed to be due to bathymetric steering of warm currents. The relationship of upper and lower level temperature fronts to each other and their association with temperature f inestructure is described. Plots of temperature, salinity, density.
