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.

The Arctic and subarctic Ocean flux of potential vorticity and the Arctic Ocean circulation
(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 ... -
Recent advances in Arctic ocean studies employing models from the Arctic Ocean Model Intercomparison Project
(Oceanography Society, 2011-09)Observational data show that the Arctic Ocean has significantly and rapidly changed over the last few decades, which is unprecedented in the observational record. Air and water temperatures have increased, sea ice volume ... -
A land-to-ocean perspective on the magnitude, source and implication of DIC flux from major Arctic rivers to the Arctic Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2012-12-14)A series of seasonally distributed measurements from the six largest Arctic rivers (the Ob', Yenisey, Lena, Kolyma, Yukon and Mackenzie) was used to examine the magnitude and significance of Arctic riverine DIC flux to ...
