Shallow eddiesITPs deployed between 2004 and 2006 have made 21 anticyclonic eddy encounters in the central Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean. The 12 to 35-m thick eddies have center depths between 42 and 69 m in the Arctic halocline, and are shallower and less dense than the majority of eddies observed previously in the central Canada Basin. Double-diffusive staircaseSix ITPs deployed in the central Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean between 2004 and 2007, have provided detailed potential temperature and salinity measurements of a double-diffusive staircase at about 200-300-m depth.
