IPY: Observing the dynamics of the deepest waters in the Arctic Ocean Mary-Louise Timmermans (WHOI) & Luc Rainville (APL)
B C A D Status Canada Basin, Beaufort Gyre Project Goal: to uncover the dynamics of the deep water and understand the potential impact of a changing Arctic Ocean on these waters. Progress: deployed deep instruments on two moorings (Beaufort Gyre Observing System, Andrey Proshutinsky et al.) in the Canada Basin in Fall 2007 (CCGS LSSL). B C A D
Moored instruments in the deep Canada Basin for 2007-2008, and 2008-2009 BGOS mooring D: Instrument configuration: Alaska
Continuation Re-deployment of deep instruments from BGOS mooring A: Continuation Re-deployment of deep instruments from CCGS LSSL in Fall 2008 Data analysis Data will be made available at the CADIS portal and www.whoi.edu/beaufortgyre/data.html
