2009 - JGR Special Issue
  Journal of Geophysical Research Special Issue: Beaufort Gyre Climate System Exploration Studies, Vol. 114, 2009.
Guest Editor(s): A. Proshutinsky
Description: The Beaufort Gyre exploration project has been focused on observational and modeling research and supported by the Beaufort Gyre Observational Program funded by the National Science Foundation, Canada and Japan since 2003. After a 5-year study the major findings of this program are reported in this section. Among section themes are investigations of the major elements of the Beaufort Gyre climate system: atmosphere, sea ice, ocean, biological and geochemical studies.
