Moored instruments in the deep Canada Basin for 2007-2008, and 2008-2009 BGOS mooring D: Instrument configuration: Alaska
BGOS mooring A: Continuation • Re-deployment of deep instruments from • CCGS LSSL in Fall 2008 • Data analysis • Data will be made available at the CADIS portal and www.whoi.edu/beaufortgyre/data.html
