Description
Summary:During the summer of 1994 the United States and Canada conducted a joint Oceanographic and sediment sampling program in the western Arctic Ocean (Aagaard and others, 1996). The experiment which was called the Arctic Ocean Section (AOS), recovered a series of piston and box cores along a transect of the Arctic that extended from the Chukchi Sea to the North Pole and into the eastern Arctic Basin. In this report we present data on abundance of foraminifers, ice-rafted detritus, and oxygen and carbon isotope data from AOS box core surface sediment samples and for downcore samples.
