Ice Spirals off Barrow as Seen by Satellite
An eddy-like feature, similar to ones observed in the Kamchatka Current, has been observed off the Alaskan coast near Barrow at the boundary of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas by the NOAA-5 satellite and radar imaging. Broken ice in the area was carried into a spiral pattern by complex current actions...
