North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO) PMEL/CRREL Ice Temperature and Mass Balance Buoy Data https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS128 Summary This data set contains ice temperature and mass balance data from drifting ice buoys near the North Pole in the Central Basin of the Arctic Ocean. Buoys were deployed each April by the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) and the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL). The buoys drifted with the ice pack, and data were collected via satellite transmissions. Ice temperature data were collected year-round at 10 cm depth intervals twice daily, every twelve hours. Data are in tab-delimited ASCII text format.
