A research paper using the compact CTD sensor “JES10mini” was published in the academic journal “Polar Data Journal”. “JES10mini” was used for observations in the Arctic Ocean by a research team from the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) and the Geophysical Institute University of Alaska Fairbanks.
The Pacific sector of the Arctic Ocean is experiencing sea-ice reduction, yet there are not many ocean observations beneath sea ice. In this study, an ice-tethered buoy monitored CTD, phytoplankton biomass, and photosynthesis available radiation (PAR), and GPS buoys monitored sea ice motions in the Beaufort Sea. A ice-tethered buoy was equipped with four “JES10mini” at different depths.
