Investigation of Ice Dynamics in the Marginal Ice Zone.

Abstract

The report consists of an initial analysis of the ice kinematics field data from MIZEX-83 Greenland Sea Study. The data set consists of distance measurements accurate to 1-2 metres between Del Norte units at five sites, with one site being the ship. The data set represents a unique set of measurements of the deformation field of a series of interacting floes.
