This proposal is part of an integrated scientific investigation to study the properties of the Arctic ocean, atmosphere, and sea- ice on a transect between Murmansk, USSR and Nome, Alaska. It will assess the quantity and character of sediments contained in the ice canopy of the Arctic Basin. This investigation will evaluate the effects of sediment on the reflectivity, thermal balance, transmissivity, and sub-ice biology. The presence and nature of sediments on sea ice may also shed light on the dynamics of ice movement and the relationships between sea-ice cover and sediment accumulations on the ocean floor.

该提案是一项综合科学研究的一部分，旨在研究苏联摩尔曼斯克和阿拉斯加诺姆之间横断面的北冰洋、大气和海冰的特性。 它将评估北极盆地冰盖中沉积物的数量和特征。 这项研究将评估沉积物对反射率、热平衡、透射率和冰下生物学的影响。 海冰上沉积物的存在和性质也可能揭示冰运动的动态以及海冰覆盖与海底沉积物积累之间的关系。
