Arctic Marine Transportation Program 1979-1986

Entry ID: G02196

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The purpose of this program was to collect data relevant to developing year-round transportation capabilities in the Arctic Ocean. The US Maritime Administration sponsored this multi-year program to define environmental conditions in the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas; to obtain data to improve design criteria for ice-worthy ships and offshore structures; and to demonstrate the operational ...

Quality The high resolution Stable isotopic data in this data set were produced by mass spectrometry. The hydrogen isotopes were analyzed utilizing an automated uranium reduction system (Vaughn et al.1998) and a Micro Mass SIRA mass spec. Error associated with this measurement is less than ±1 per mil, and typically ± 0.6 per mil. The oxygen isotopes were analyzed using co2/h20 equilibration method (Epstein and Mayeda,1953) and a Micromass Optima mass spec. Error associated with this measurement is less than 0.1 per mil, and typically ±0.05 per mil.
