Toward Improved Observing of the Rapidly Changing Arctic Ocean
Stanton_Towards Improved Observing of the Rapidly Changing Arctic Ocean_2013.pdf (415.3Kb)Abstract
In order to observe and understand the Arctic Ocean and its response to climate change, the traditional approach of acquiring observations when and where the Arctic is accessible has to be enhanced with multi-faceted measurement systems operating autonomously to provide year-round information in real time. The major goal of such a network of autonomous sensors is to measure and monitor physical, chemical and biological parameters in the atmosphere, sea ice and ocean on at least daily intervals.
