ACOBAR Contract Grant agreement no.: (212887)Acobar Contract Grant Agreement • January 27th, 2010
The Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (NERSC) is planning to conduct a full-scale acoustic tomography experiment (ACOBAR1 Experiment) in Fram Strait from 2010 to 2011 (2012), approximately 83 kilometers (km) (45 nautical miles [nmi]) from the west coast of Svalbard and 313 km (169 nmi) from the east coast of Greenland. The ACOBAR Experiment is building upon the initial underwater acoustic tomography system installed in Fram Strait during 2008 by the DAMOCLES2 Integrated Project. The goal of the ACOBAR Experiment is the continued development and installation of an ocean acoustic tomography system in Fram Strait that will provide the needed data to monitor the changing heat flux and currents and understand the effects of climate variability on water mass transport and sea ice exchange through the Strait.
