Observing array deployed 2004, 2005, and 2006

The initial array deployment occurred in September 2004. The array was turned in September 2005 and October 2006. The initial array consisted of moored and bottom mounted elements. In the most recent deployment, all elements have been moved onto moorings to reduce bottom related fouling. Mouse over the symbols in the above map to see what instruments will be deployed at each location. In addition to the science measurements (currents, temperature, salinity, ice thickness), we have deployed RAFOS sources and six moored receivers in a variety of geometries to study the propagation of RAFOS signals in ice covered environments. In 2005 and 2006 the RAFOS sources have also supported glider navigation.
