Twenty ice buoys are to be deployed to gather data on ice movement and oceanographic and atmospheric conditions in the near-shore areas of the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas of the Arctic Ocean. The buoy deployments are to be accomplished in conjunction with field work being conducted by the Arctic Ice Dynamics Joint experiment (AIDJEX). Four buoys with oceanographic and meteorological sensors wer deployed along the continental shelf break in November 1975, by NOAA chartered helicopter from Deadhorse, Alaska, and the AIDJEX main ice station in the Beaufort Sea, and eight tracking-only buoys were parachuted from NOAA chartered aircraft in December. Data from the buoys are being received by transmission through the NIMBUS-6 satellite and placed in the AIDJEX Data Bank.
