Buoy, IOEB Air, Ice and Biogeochemical Data [Krishfield, R.]

As part of the SHEBA buoy array, a Japan Marine Science and Technology Center (JAMSTEC) Ice-Ocean Environmental Buoy (IOEB) was deployed on September 30, 1997 from the Des Groseilliers at 75 degrees 5.4 min North, 140 degrees 54.7 min West enroute to installation of the ice camp. Complete year-long time-series of buoy drift, air temperature, barometer, and compass heading were telemetered via Argos during the drift. Partial-year records of wind (< 1/2 year) and ice thermistor profiles (~3/4 year) were also acquired.
