Observations of Ice Motion and Interior Flow Field During 1971 AIDJEX Pilot Study.
Abstract
As part of the 1971 AIDJEX Pilot Study, a field program was conducted to study the interior flow field of the Arctic Ocean. The program was designed to determine (1) how accurately Arctic Ocean Currents can be estimated using geostrophic calculations; (2) the horizontal and vertical coherence of the flow field; and (3) the relationship between the ice motion and the interior flow field. The experiment was located in the eastern Beaufort Sea during a two-week period 16 March to 2 April 1971.
