MR23-06C drifting wave buoy observation in the Arctic

We deployed multiple drifting-type wave buoys. These buoys were strategically placed to investigate the propagation of ocean surface waves beneath the Arctic sea ice and to observe how these waves develop within areas covered by sea ice under the influence of wind. Anticipated outcomes include the determination of the attenuation rate of surface waves as they traverse beneath the Arctic sea ice and the elucidation of the fetch law within the presence of sea ice.
