Includes Supplementary Material A study of the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) in the Central Arctic was sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in 2014. This experiment used clusters of buoys equipped with autonomous sensors. As the 2014 arctic season progressed, the buoy GPS locations were collect...
