The Campaign
The Salinity and Stratification at the Sea Ice Edge (SASSIE) experiment was a NASA campaign focused on studying the dynamics and effects of ocean salinity anomalies caused by melting sea ice. SASSIE had one deployment over the Beaufort Sea from August to October 2022. Multiple platforms, such as R/V Woldstad, BT-67 aircraft, buoys, and other water platforms, were used to measure sea surface temperatures, ocean salinity, and sea ice extent. SASSIE was funded through NASA’s Physical Oceanography Program.
