NorthEast Water Polynya (NEWP) current meter data from 1992-07-23 to 1993-07-27 (NCEI Accession 9800162)
This dataset contains NorthEast Water Polynya (NEWP) current meter data from 4 moorings, each with 2 or 3 current meters at different depths. Parameters include water temperature, conductivity, salinity, sigma-T, current direction, and current speed.
The NorthEast Water Polynya (NEWP) is a coastal, reduced-ice region on the northeast Greenland shelf between 77 degrees north and 81 degrees north. It is the northernmost of several polynyas along the east Greenland coast.

Supplemental Information | Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis. Points of contact for this data set include: Contact info: Agency: UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA - FAIRBANKS; INSTITUTE OF MARINE SCIENCE PI: Johnson, Dr. Mark Address: address: ROOM 111 O'NEAL BUILDING city: FAIRBANKS state: AK postal: 99701 country: UNITED STATES |
Purpose | The overall objective of the NEWP project was to gain an interdisciplinary, integrated understanding of arctic shelf-slope processes in a "model" polynya system. The objective of the physical component was to determine the local currents, particularly in the polynya's bathymetric trough system. |
