This report presents moored observations of velocity, temperature, and conductivity
made at the "0" Camp during CEAREX (Coordinated Eastern Arctic Experiment).
The measurements were made in the Arctic Ocean, near 83 ON and 5 ° to 11 °E, from
sensors suspended below the ice during March-April 1989.
We designed an experiment to see if turbulence induced by shear instability
could be a mechanism. Using equipment readily available we completed
an experiment from the Ice Island T-3. A sensor array of current meters
and thermistors (described later on) was suspended beneath the sea ice of
Colby Bay, T-3,...
This report documents observations of temperature and salinity made in the Arctic Ocean during the 1995 cruise of the submarine USS Cavalla. This cruise was the second civilian scientific cruise to the Arctic Ocean aboard a U.S. Navy Sturgeon-class submarine, and the first of five annual SCICEX cruises.
The SCICEX-95...
The Coordinated Eastern Arctic Experiment (CEAREX) was a multi-platform geophysical study covering the period from winter 1988 to spring 1989 in the vicinity of the Yermak Plateau and Fram Strait. The Oceanography ("0") Camp component of CEAREX was designed to study the physical oceanographic conditions from the deep Nansen Basin...
This report presents time series measurements of velocity, temperature and conductivity made during the Lead Experiment (LEADEX). These observations were made in the Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean, in the vicinity of 73°N, 144°W, during March-April 1992. Month-long observations at the base camp were made between the surface and 400 m...
The purpose of this dissertation was to define macrolichen community gradients in relation to succession, grazing and the environment. First, species scores indicating when macrolichen species appeared following disturbance were derived from the literature. Weighted averaging of these data with a community matrix created a successional score for each sample...
A multidisciplinary oceanographic research program was carried out by US and Canadian investigators in the spring of 1995 in the Canadian Arctic, near Lowther Island in Barrow Strait. The program, referred to here as Resolute 95 (or Res95), had a variety of objectives, including detailed examination of the mechanisms responsible...
The work described herein entailed three separate but related
education/outreach activities aimed at distinct audiences. This portfolio required
acquisition of a range of skills in order to effectively convey information in a fashion accessible to each target audience. The first project consists of contributions to a
sample chapter of a...
This report presents observations from moorings of temperature, conductivity
and pressure, made during the Arctic Internal Wave Experiment (AIWEX)
in March-April 1985.
The purpose of the temperature and conductivity measurements was to
provide time series from which inferences could be made about the vertical
displacement of the internal waves.
Nares Strait is one of three main passages of the Canadian Archipelago that
channels freshwater from the Arctic Ocean to the North Atlantic. There are very few
observations regarding the role of this region on the present day Arctic freshwater budget,
and even less regarding the changes in freshwater fluxes...
Perennial woody plants have a complex annual cycle keyed to the environment. Temperate plants have an annual dormant period commonly broken by exposure to low temperatures, although daily photoperiods of 16 hours or longer may partially substitute for the chilling. Shoot growth in the spring is normally stimulated by rising...
The Arctic Internal Wave Experiment (AIWEX) was designed to study the internal wave and microstructure fields in the Beaufort Sea in the early spring. A major goal of the experiment was to verify the hypothesis that the internal wave and microstructure fields beneath the ice are far less energetic than...
SOCs volatility and persistence properties cause many SOCs to become ubiquitous in the environment as well as accumulate in areas with lower temperatures such as polar or orographic regions. Many anthropogenic SOCs pose a serious risk to human and ecosystem health because of their persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic properties in...
In 1997, the Eskimo Walrus Commission (EWC) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) established a formal cooperative agreement for the conservation and management of Pacific walrus (Odobenus rosmarus divergens). This arrangement facilitates the transfer of funds from Section 119 of the Marine Mammal Protection Act via the USFWS...
This compilation is meant only to be a guide because it is imperfect. I gathered these citations during a single search of the sources cited in section B; ideally, I would have gone through all those sources again to perhaps find records that I missed or to correct errors that...
