Physics and Ecology in the Marginal Ice Zone of the Fram Strait : a Robotic Approach
This thesis describes operations of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to investigate the complex interaction between physical forcing and ecological response in the marginal ice zone of the Fram Strait. The vehicle was equipped with instruments collecting physical, chemical, and biological data...
