ABSTRACT FROM: Turbulent Mixing Under Drifting Pack Ice in the Weddell Sea
Science, 263, 218 - 221, 1994
By providing cold, dense water that sinks mixes to fill the abyssal world ocean, high-latitude aire-sea-ice interaction is the main conduit through which the deep ocean communicates with the rest of the climate system. A key element in modeling and predicting oceanic impact on climate is understanding the processes that control the near surface exchange of heat, salt, and momentum. In 1992, the United States-Russian Ice Station Weddell-1 traveresed the Western Weddell Sea during the onset of winter,
