Circulation And Water Property Variations In The Nearshore Alaskan Beaufort Sea

by Thomas J. Weingartner, Stephen R. Okkonen, Seth L. Danielson

Three years of current meter and water property data were collected year-round (1999 - 2002) from the landfast ice zone of the nearshore Alaskan Beaufort Sea.
