Assessment of the Western Arctic Boundary Current
Principal Investigator: Pickart, Robert S.
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2013 2012 2011 2010
Summary: The main objective is to characterize the western Arctic Boundary current (which flows at the edge of the shelf), in order to understand its role in dictating shelf-basin exchange of water and materials and how it impacts the ecosystem of the region, including the occurrence of marine mammals. This project is a collaboration between US and Canadian scientists. The research team are using a comb...


SOFAR Technology in the Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Perkin, Ron G.
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: Three drifters, called SOFAR (SOund Fixing and Ranging) floats will be ballasted to sink to 1000m and 500m in the ocean. They will be tracked for a period of one year by four underwater listening stations moored along the 700m depth contour northwest of Amundsen Gulf....


Beaufort Sea Ice Motion Programme - Mesoscale Flow Features Study
Principal Investigator: Melling, Humfrey
Licensed Year(s): 1988 1987
Summary: To deploy 11 drifting buoys to improve description of oceanic flow variations on scales of 5-50 km over the Mackenzie shelf of the southern Beaufort Sea; to investigate the relationship between such variations, seafloor topography and shelf water baroclinicity; to estimate the uncertainty which such fluctuations introduce into deterministic models of pack-ice drift...

Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To undertake a survey of the nearshore environment, including collection of sediment samples, measuring sediment and rock layers, taking sea bottom soundings and water current measurements; to obtain a number of deep water cores from the fiord sea floor....
