ACOBAR CONTRACT GRANT AGREEMENT NO.: (212887)Acobar Contract Grant Agreement • June 6th, 2013
The Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (NERSC) conducted a full-scale acoustic tomography experiment (ACOBAR1 Experiment) in Fram Strait from 2010 to 2012, approximately 83 kilometers (km) (45 nautical miles [nmi]) from the west coast of Svalbard, Norway and 313 km (169 nmi) from the east coast of Greenland. The ACOBAR Experiment built upon the initial underwater acoustic tomography system installed in Fram Strait during 2008 by the DAMOCLES2 Integrated Project. The goal of the ACOBAR Experiment was the continued development and installation of an ocean acoustic tomography system in Fram Strait to provide data needed to monitor the changing Arctic heat flux and circulation as well as to understand the effects of climate variability on water mass transport and sea ice exchange through the Strait.
