J-CAD Drifting Buoy Data, Arctic Ocean, 2000-2002

Entry ID: ARCSS126

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This data set contains drifting buoy measurements taken from the Japan Marine Science and Technology Center (JAMSTEC) Compact Arctic Drifters (J-CADs). The J-CAD buoys drift with the ice pack, collecting navigational, atmospheric, and oceanographic measurements, and transmitting the data via satellite. Since 2000, investigators have been conducting operations of the J-CADs to measure the structure ...
