Nested In The Ice
May 17, 2007A crane’s yellow arm floats above a bevy of yellow floats, retrieving a set of moored instruments from crushing broken ice in the Beaufort Gyre, north of Alaska, in 2005. WHOI physical oceanographer Andrey Proshutinsky and a multi-national team aboard the Canadian Coast Guard Icebreaker Louis S. St. Laurent set out the moorings carrying instruments to monitor temperature, saltiness, and currents in a rapidly changing part of the ocean, part of a multi-national multi-year effort to understand changing conditions in this ocean basin.
