A multidisciplinary oceanographic research program was carried out by US and Canadian investigators in the spring of 1995 in the Canadian Arctic, near Lowther Island in Barrow Strait. The program, referred to here as Resolute 95 (or Res95), had a variety of objectives, including detailed examination of the mechanisms responsible for vertical mixing, and assessing the relative importance of nutrient and light limitation on algal growth under ice. This report focuses on analysis of the observational component conducted by Dr. Laurie Padman (Oregon State University). The observational data set discussed here includes nearly continuous profile measurements of currents, temperature, salinity and turbulence at a fixed location. Calibrations and data processing are described and observations are summarized. .
