Velocity profiles, and ocean boundary layer experiments of the near ice stratification and platelet ice matrix of the McMurdo Sound sea ice
Entry ID:
K131_2007_2009_NZ_2
Summary
Abstract:
Two holes in the sea ice were melted in a location off Cape Armitage. Heated containers were installed over the holes to enable detailed oceanographic experimentation. Sea ice structure, C-axis orientation, sea ice salinity, presence of platelet ice, velocity profile data and a sequence of fine-scale ocean boundary layer experiments were collected. Foremost among these were synchronous ...
