Status of Buoy Data onto GTSThe most recent MSC, Edmonton, monthly ARGOS Summary Report is datedOctober 2001. No one has requested an update and MSC proposes to cease itsproduction. The report is done by Dennis Oracheski and emailed out. Recipientsinclude Etienne Charpentier, Technical Coordinator, Drifting Buoy Cooperation Paneland, Estelle Couture, Marine Environmental Data Systems, Department of Fisheriesand Oceans, Canada.The summary outlines buoys / data being transmitted to GTS from the ARGOS DirectReadout Stations at CWEG ... Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and CYQX ... Gander,Newfoundland, Canada (data from Gander uses the CHWX identifier). Included is thelatitude (deg N) and longitude (deg E) position and the list of sensors for each buoy.The report also includes the “status” of some of the data.Buoy Strategy and Deployment Plans June 2002 to end of May 20031. Purchased ICEX-Air for this year’s (2002) White Trident deployment.2. MSC buoy will be on board Canadian Coast Guard Ice Breaker Louis S. St. Laurentfor deployment in September west or northwest of Banks Island in support of theJoint (Canada and Japan) Western Arctic Climate Study. Plan to provide a buoy forstudy again 2003.3. Plan to continue landing-on-ice deployment out of Eureka in March or Aprilcontingent on continued Polar Continental Shelf Project support and the U.S.National Ice Service allowing us to deploy at least 1 of their buoys on these flights.A minimum of 2 and up to 4 buoys will be deployed with the additional buoys beingin-house assembled MSC buoys.4. Plan to provide a buoy through the April May period for the fuel cache siteestablished about half way between Ellesmere Island and the north pole.Surrounding buoy array will be assessed prior to fuel cache pull-out and the buoymay be left.5. Do not plan to purchase any more CALIB buoys.Edward Hudson 780 951-8878Prairie Aviation and Arctic Weather Centre, fax 780 951-8602Meteorological Service of Environment CanadaTwin Atria Bldg - 2nd Floor, 4999 - 98 StreetEdmonton, AB, T6B 2X3Canadaedward.hudson@ec.gc.ca44

Host for the year 2001 meeting was theJapan Marine Science and Technology Centre (JAMSTEC). Participants were honored to be the firstusers of JAMTEC’s International Guest House.IABP EXECUTIVE AND COORDINATOR - The elected IABP executive and appointed coordinator:Chairman: Timothy Goos, Environment Canada, Canada tim.goos@ec.gc.caVice Chairman: Thor Kvinge, Christian Michelsen Research, Norwaythkvinge@online.noMember: Ivan Frolov, Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute, Russia aaricoop@aari.nw.ruMember: Christopher O’Connors, U.S. National Ice Center, U.S.A. oconnorsc@natice.nooa.govCoordinator: Ignatius Rigor, Polar Science Center, U.S.A. ignatius@apl.washington.eduBUOY ARRAY STATUS 04 SEPTEMBER - The buoy array in place 04 September 2001 per the mapand sheet posted on the IABP web page - http://IABP.apl.washington.edu - showed 32 buoys on theGlobal Telecommunication System (GTS) 26 of which gave both surface air pressure and surface airtemperature, 5 of which gave surface air pressure only, and 1 of which provided temperature only.Another buoy was added to the array mid September near the north pole. The IABP strives to maintain anarray of at least 25 buoys evenly distributed across the Arctic Ocean.DEPLOYMENTS 2001 - The following outlines some of the deployment strategies that resulted in buoysbeing deployed 2001.White Trident August 2001 - The annual White Trident Deployment was conducted by the Commander,(U.S.) Naval Meteorology and Oceanographic Command. This deployment remains the key deploymentstrategy of the IABP. ICEX-AIR buoys for this years White Trident Exercise were provided by:• (U. S.) National Ice Centre representing several agencies (3)• Alfred Wegner Institute for Polar and Marine Research (1)• Norwegian Meteorological Institute (1)• U. K. Meteorological Office (1) and• Meteorological Service of Environment Canada (1).Buoys on Ice via Environment Canada - April 2001.The photo shows one of the CES Zeno buoys deployed for US National Ice Service 23 and 24 April 2001to the west of the Canadian Arctic Islands by Meteorological Service of Canada personnel via Twin Otteraircraft landing on ice. These deployments are an annual event and are supported by Polar ContinentalShelf Project, Natural Resources, Canada.Buoys on Ice via Icebreakers in Arctic Basin. - September 2001The US Coast Guard icebreaker Healy and the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) for Polar and MarineResearch vessel Polarstern were near the north pole summer 2001. An AWI buoy was deployedSeptember as the Healy exited the area.45
