Water and Ice Motion in the Beaufort Sea, Spring 1970.
Abstract
The relationship between water motion and ice motion is not so well understood. Over very large time and space scales in the Beaufort Sea gyre, the ice and water motions are obviously correlated; both perform a large clockwise rotation, and both are in geostrophic balance. The objective of this experiment was to examine this interrelationship on shorter time and space scales by a more detailed examination of the hydrographic and current structure.
