Buoy 75
Initial Data Investigation:
Buoy Movement: Latitude and Longitude
Temperature and Salinity Profile for Day 14
Calculated Distance | Eyeballed Average speed: 3.0 km/day
Calculated Fresh Water Content for Day 14: 3.4 |
Calculated Fresh Water Content: By day
Temperature and Salinity Profiles using Full Data
Calculated Density Profile using Full Data
Work in Progress(11/10):
Ice Velocity by Day | X vs. Y
First attempt at graphing stability frequency: Rough figure
Histogram of Ice Velocity X-direction | Y-Direction
About 73% of values are between -1.5 to 0.5 cm/s from the mean velocity for x-direction
Only about 14% of values deviate from the mean 1.5 or more cm/s (positive or negative) for x-direction
About 57% of values deviate with a negative value for the x-direction
About 72% of values deviate -1.5 to -0.5 cm/s from the mean for the y-direction
80% of values deviate with a negative value. These values have a range of 2 cm/s for the y-direction
The 20% of values on the positive side have a range of 7 cm/s for the y-direction
Discerning Patterns:
Trial 1: Profile with northernmost points in blue and southernmost points in red
Temperature | Salinity
Latitude does not appear to be the strongest factor in observed pattern
Trial 2: Temperature at 750m depth
Why investigate? Divider
By latitude | By day
The deepest waters appear to have temperatures of either 0.5 or 0.1 degrees
Trial 3: Closer look at only temperatures greater than 1.1 degrees Celsius
Warmest Temperatures
The warmest waters have salinities ranging mostly between 34.7 and 35.0
Investigating Speed of Sound (in meters per second) with varying ranges:
Range of 32 m/s
Range of 30 m/s
Range of 15 m/s
