The Canada Basin Acoustic Propagation Experiment (CANAPE) surveyed the Chukchi Slope in 2016 and 2017 with shipboard and moored measurements. I used their hydrography and velocity measurements, as well as wind and sea ice measurements, to characterize the Chukchi Slope variability. In general, the v...
