Description
Summary:Understanding the annual and inter-annual variability of the Fram Strait/Greenland Sea Marginal Ice Zone (described by Bourke and Paquette' in this issue) is of scientific interest because of its impact on increasing military and civilian activities in this area . Until the ONR-sponsored Marginal Ice Zone Experiments (MIZEX), no comprehensive meteorology research had been done in marginal ice zones (MIZ). Limited meteorological studies were conducted in the Bering Sea MIZ (MIZEX-WEST 1983).2-5 However, our meteorological understanding of this area has been minimal.
