VAWS: A Tale of Two Ice Floes - Andy Mahoney & Melinda Webster, University of Alaska Fairbanks
During the winter of 2019-2020, two drifting ice fl oes, thousands of miles apart, formed the temporary homes for two different Arctic operations. In late 2019, the icebreaker Polarstern was frozen into sea ice in the Central Arctic as the centerpiece of the year-long MOSAiC e xpedition. And, in February 2020, an ice camp was established roughly 150 m iles offshore in the Alaska Beaufort Sea as the base of on-ice activity for the U.S. Navy’s biennial ICEX exercise. In this webinar, we will discuss t he weather and ice conditions at each location and how this impacted the sc ience and logistics. In the process, we will introduce some of the science that was carried on these two ice floes and reflect on how the unexpected w eather and ice conditions can create challenges, but also offer new insight s.
