Physical Oceanography Report: Camp-Based and Helicopter-Based STD Data from the Drifting Ice Station FRAM III

During the spring of 1981, a manned camp was established on a drifting ice floe north of Spitzbergen. During the 61 days of occupation, the Arctic Oceanography Department of Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory obtained a total of 194 STD stations from the combined efforts of personnel in charge of...

Description
Summary:During the spring of 1981, a manned camp was established on a drifting ice floe north of Spitzbergen. During the 61 days of occupation, the Arctic Oceanography Department of Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory obtained a total of 194 STD stations from the combined efforts of personnel in charge of camp-based and helicopter-based operations. This report describes the methods used in the acquisition and processing of the data and provides output for each cast. The output consists of standard level listings of temperature, potential temperature, salinity, sigma-t, specific volume anomaly, dynamic height, and sound velocity, along with corresponding profiles of temperature, salinity and sigma-t.
