Description
Summary:This report presents time series measurements of velocity, temperature and conductivity made during the Lead Experiment (LEADEX). These observations were made in the Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean, in the vicinity of 73°N, 144°W, during March-April 1992. Month-long observations at the base camp were made between the surface and 400 m depth; horizontal separations ranged from 70 to 140 m. Several-day records of velocity profiles to 130 m depth in two newly formed leads aways from the base camp are also presented.
