A series of instrumented Arctic buoys has been developed which is designed to be deployed in pack ice to measure and record
data from meteorological and ocean sensors as well as from an accelerometer package inside the buoy. Sophisticated in situ
processing is performed reducing the data capacitiy required for the system's optical disk recorder.
Engineering development is described which aimed to identify and solve performance problems related to hardware and software
deficiencies. One of the major hardware problems was that the optical disk was unreliable when exposed to the Arctic
environment. Redesign was performed to insulate parts of the system from the cold. The test and evaluation sequence is described
as well as the present status of all portions of the system.
Sample field data are presented including multiband acoustic spectra as well as time series environmental data.

Freshwater and its role in the Arctic Marine System : sources, disposition, storage, export, and physical and biogeochemical consequences in the Arctic and global oceans
Carmack, Edward C.; Yamamoto-Kawai, Michiyo; Haine, Thomas W. N.; Bacon, Sheldon; Bluhm, Bodil A.; Lique, Camille; Melling, Humfrey; Polyakov, Igor V.; Straneo, Fiamma; Timmermans, Mary-Louise; Williams, William J. (John Wiley & Sons, 2016-03-30)The Arctic Ocean is a fundamental node in the global hydrological cycle and the ocean's thermohaline circulation. We here assess the system's key functions and processes: (1) the delivery of fresh and low-salinity waters ... -

The Arctic and subarctic Ocean flux of potential vorticity and the Arctic Ocean circulation
Yang, Jiayan (American Meteorological Society, 2005-12)According to observations, the Arctic Ocean circulation beneath a shallow thermocline can be schematized by cyclonic rim currents along shelves and over ridges. In each deep basin, the circulation is also believed to be ...
