Reconstruction of the circulation during 1990-1991

ALL PRESENTED RESULTS ARE PRELIMINARY RESULTS !!!

Goals: (1) Reconstruct the circulation during 1995 in Chukchi and ESS; (2) Estimates of the ice-ocean heat/salt fluxes; (3) Estimates of the transport

Data: (1) Hydrophysicals surveys during August, September and October 1995 (2) 2 moorings with CTD and current meters (3) 39 drifters (4) Meteorological data

Assimilation of the 4-days low-passed velocity and CTD data.
