Research, Coordination, Data Management and Enhancement of the International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP): A US Interagency Arctic Buoy Programme (USIABP) contribution to the IABP
Abstract
Funds are provided to deploy a diverse network of buoys across the Arctic Ocean (the ""International Arctic Buoy Program"") to collect" critical environmnetal data, analyze the data to better understand physical trends in the Arctic environment, observse processes controlling sea ice and other hazards to navigation and operations, and to monitor and understand changes in the length of time the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas are navigable suring summer months. Through this proposal, we plan to help address this challenge of monitoring the Arctic, and further develop strong interagency and international partnerships through the USIABP, IABP and ICE-PPR, and advise/mentor Midshipmen from the USNA. The IABP AON provides critical atmospheric, ice, and upper ocean hydrographic measurements that cannot be obtained by other means.
