In situ Lagrangian drifting buoy data off East Antarctica for the austral spring of 2012, deployed during the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis
Entry ID: SIPEX_II_Buoys

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: In situ Lagrangian drifter positions were collected from nine expendable sea-ice buoys. Positions were collected by GPS receivers aboard each buoy and relayed via the CLS Argos satellite data system.

The scientific proposal for this project was based on the deployment of two meso-scale buoy arrays over the continental shelf break in the SIPEX 2012 experimental region. Resolving of ice motion ... View entire text

DRIFTING BUOYS Ancillary Description
Quality Deployment opportunities were compromised due to poor flying conditions (weather) as well as, at some occasions, due to inefficient flight scheduling.

Scientific deployment plan was not fully reflected in Service Level Agreement.

Standard Operating Procedures for ice-floe work via helicopter makes the realisation of meso-scale ice-physics work difficult. Importantly both ... View entire text
