North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO) Oceanographic Mooring Data, 2001-2002

Entry ID: ARCSS156

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This data set, acquired with an oceanographic bottom-anchored mooring, includes sea-ice draft and depth data, conductivity, temperature, pressure, salinity, and ocean current measurements such as speed and direction. Each mooring contains vertically distributed instruments, which measure ocean properties at fixed depths and record data internally. These data are retrieved annually when the mooring ...
