Deployment: NBP1005

2010-11-26 - 2011-01-16 Amundsen Sea, South Pacific Sector of Antarctica, Southern Ocean 73 S 115 W Platform:RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer (vessel)

Description

Expedition by the USAP RV Nathaniel B. Palmer during austral summer 2010-11 to sampled the Amundsen Sea Polynya during the Amundsen Sea Polynya International Research Expedition (ASPIRE).  Also identified as OSO 2010-11 (Oden Southern Ocean – two vessel operation 2010-11)

The US Research Icebreaker Nathaniel B. Palmer was joined by the Swedish Icebreaker Oden for a two-vessel expedition to the Amundsen Sea. Scientists on the Palmer focused on understanding the climate-sensitive dynamics of the open water region, known as a "polynya." Oden scientists investigated the sea ice ecosystem nearby.  The aim of both groups was to improve our understanding of how climate change will impact this important ecosystem.

Note R2R Link takes user to Marine Geoscience Data System (MGDS):
NBP1005
NBP1005A

Data at MGDS were available as NBP1005 and NBP1005A.  The data are from the same expedition and are combined in BCO-DMO into the one deployment - NBP1005.
