Autonomous Ocean Flux Buoy 2

Time-series data from the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Autonomous Ocean Flux Buoy (AOFB) #2. This buoy was deployed at the 2003 North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO) ice camp 26 April 2003. The buoy drifted across the Eurasian Basins and exited the Arctic Ocean through Fram Strait. The time series ended on 28 April 2004. The buoy measured velocity, temperature, salinity, and the vertical turbulent fluxes of heat, salt, and momentum in the ocean surface mixed layer with a custom-built sensor package about 5 m below the ice-ocean interface. The buoy also measured vertical profiles of ocean currents with an RD instruments 600 kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP).

本数据集为美国海军研究生院（Naval Postgraduate School, NPS）2号自主海洋通量浮标（Autonomous Ocean Flux Buoy, AOFB）采集的时序观测数据。该浮标于2003年4月26日部署于2003年北极环境观测站（North Pole Environmental Observatory, NPEO）冰营点位，随流漂经欧亚海盆，并经由弗拉姆海峡（Fram Strait）驶出北冰洋，本次观测时序于2004年4月28日终止。该浮标通过安装于冰海界面下方约5米处的定制化传感器组件，对海洋表层混合层内的流速、温度、盐度以及热、盐、动量垂直湍流通量进行观测；该浮标还搭载RD仪器公司（RD Instruments）600 kHz声学多普勒流速剖面仪（Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, ADCP），完成了海洋流速垂直剖面的测量。有关NPS AOFB项目的更多信息（包括现役浮标的实时观测数据）可通过以下链接获取：http://www.oc.nps.edu/~stanton/fluxbuoy
