A Report on the 1970 AIDJEX Pilot Study.
Abstract
Techniques for measuring water stress on and ice deformation of the Arctic ice pack are explored. The interior flow field is inferred from standard hydrocast techniques, supported by Braincon current meters suspended through the ice. Ice deformation is measured by Decca-Lamda navigation systems and tellurometers. Mechanical current meters designed to measure time-dependent velocity and Reynolds stress fields in the boundary layer are described. Installation of the boundary layer instruments is discussed. Preliminary results obtained during the 1970 AIDJEX Pilot Study are reported.
