| Long name | Kapitan Dranitsyn cruise NABOS2008 |
|---|---|
| Short name | NABOS2008 |
| Objectives and Narrative | The 2008 arctic research cruise aboard the icebreaker "Kapitan Dranitsyn" was the seventh expedition under the aegis of NABOS (Nansen Amundsen Basin Observations System) conducted by the International Arctic Research Center (IARC) at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) in partnership with the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI, St. Petersburg, Russia), ArcticNet at Laval University (Quebec, Canada), and the ASBO consortium of universities from the United Kingdom. The main goal of the NABOS project is to provide a quantitative assessment of circulation and water mass transformation along the principal pathways transporting water from the Nordic Seas to the Arctic Basin. A specific feature of the 2008 NABOS cruise was that it was carried out in the beginning of the arctic winter, when daylight was limited to 4-6 hours, the temperature was always below 0°C, and the ice was growing rapidly. Because of these difficulties, the complexity of field activities increased tremendously, yet the cruise program was successfully fulfilled. New unique scientific data collected along the Eurasian continental margin under these extreme conditions will be vital for understanding arctic climate change. Five moorings were recovered and two new ones were deployed. Strong seasonal oscillations of the temperature and salinity in the Atlantic Water layer found in 2004-2007 NABOS data were confirmed by newly obtained time series north of Svalbard and from the Severnaya Zemlya area. |
