This proposal is part of an integrated scientific program to study the properties of the Arctic ocean, atmosphere, and sea-ice on a transect between Murmansk, USSR and Nome, Alaska. It will measure variations in temperature and salinity through Conductivity/Temperature/Depth (CTD) survey, and otherwise investigate density structure and the water column dynamics, using Expendable Current Profiler (XCP) measurements. This proposal will obtain fundamental information that has never before been available as well as provide indispensable collaborative information for a larger biological component of the science program. Two Polar Ocean Profiling buoys will be deployed during the ships transit that will make an existing network of autonomous buoys complete and that will eventually allow calculation of the Arctic Ocean water mass volume and its seasonal and interannual variations.

该提案是一项综合科学计划的一部分， 研究北冰洋、大气和海冰的特性 在摩尔曼斯克，苏联和诺姆，阿拉斯加之间的横断面上。 它将 测量温度和盐度的变化， 电导率/温度/深度（CTD）测量，以及其他 研究密度结构和水柱动力学， 使用消耗性电流剖面仪（XCP）测量。 这 提案将获得从未有过的基本信息 提供了不可或缺的 协作信息，用于更大的生物组件， 科学计划。 两个极地海洋剖面浮标将在 在船舶过境期间部署，将使现有的 自主浮标网络完成，最终将 允许计算北冰洋水质量体积及其 季节和年际变化。
