2003 Dispatches
Dispatch 01 - August 7, 2003
Arrival
in Kugluktuk
The final destination of our 2-day flight from
Boston was to the very small town of Kugluktuk,
where the icebreaker Louis S. St.-Laurent will
take us on board for our 30-day expedition to
the Beaufort Gyre. More
Dispatch 02 - August 8, 2003
Flying
to the ship
Some bad and some good news met us this morning.
The weather was bad (rain and strong wind) but
our 14 boxes were found. More
Dispatch 03 - August 9-10,
2003
Steaming
to the Beaufort Sea
Sea ice and weather conditions were favorable
and we moved toward the Beaufort Sea with a speed
of about 15 knots. More
Dispatch 04 - August 11, 2003
CABOS
mooring is recovered
With favorable ice conditions, we're getting down
to business with our freshwater explorations.
More
Dispatch 05 - August 12-14,
2003
Work
underway
We are busy with moorings and water sampling.
But we could use a little company. Where are the
birds and animals that live in the Arctic? More
Dispatch 06 - August 15-17,
2003
Moorings,
moorings, and moorings
Our major operations during the past 3 days were
mooring recoveries and deployments. More
Dispatch
07 - August 18-19, 2003
Polar
bear sighting
A polar bear lumbering on the ice near the ship
brought almost everyone—and their cameras—to
the deck. More
Dispatch 08 - August 20-21,
2003
Searching
for the perfect ice
To install a buoy with instruments that will send
us data from the Arctic for months requires an
ice field with just the right
thickness. More
Dispatch 09 - August 22-23,
2003
Ice
surface buoys
Deploying and recovering buoys requires effort
and organization, but the information they gather
can teach us a lot about the ocean. More
Dispatch 10 - August 24-27,
2003
Beaufort
Gyre Freshwater Observing System is in place
During several busy days, we established the Beaufort
Gyre Freshwater Observing System. More
Dispatch
11 - August 28-30, 2003
Chemistry
from the surface to the bottom
We take samples to help us identify the source
and even the age of water found here. This helps
us to understand how the atmosphere and ocean
work. More
Dispatch
12 - August 31-September 1, 2003
Signs
of sea ice and another polar bear
The air temperature is the coldest we have experienced
yet, and we can see the ice form on the sea surface.
