Picture of SIMI Camp (1993-1994).  One of the Stress Sensors was near the camp, the other stress Sensors were aproximately 1km from campPicture of the SHEBA Camp (1997-1998).  The stress Sensors were placed 1 - 2 km from the campInstalling one of the Beaufort Stress Sensors - All sensors were put in by helicopter and were spread out over 200km in a North-South line

ABSTRACT:    The Sea Ice Mechanics Initiative (SIMI 1992-1993), the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic Ocean (SHEBA 1997-1998) and the Beaufort 2001-2002 experiment include three kinematic studies from the Beaufort Sea at scales of 1, 15, and 200 km, respectively. Each includes an insightful combination of data types: thermal and dynamic stress; Lagrangian drift and strain-rate; and coincident winter SAR scenes. This CD-ROM includes a data archive of raw and processed versions of the stress and buoy drifter data; a catalogue of all coincident winter SAR scenes as archived at the Alaska SAR Facility (ASF); and documentation detailing the experiments, instrument calibration, and data processing.
