The Campaign
The Marginal Ice Zone Observations and Processes Experiment (MIZOPEX) studied the variability of sea and ice conditions during the summer melt period in and near the marginal ice zone (MIZ). MIZOPEX had one deployment during July and August of 2013 over the Southern Beaufort Sea and Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. Three Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS) were used to collect measurements of ice thickness, sea surface temperature, and albedo using remote sensing instruments. Buoys were also deployed from the R/V Upik to take supplemental measurements. MIZOPEX was funded through the ROSES 2010 call with an initiative to facilitate research with UASs.
