    • SASSIE Arctic Field Campaign Drifter Hydrography Data Fall 2022 Version 2p

    Metadata Updated: September 19, 2025

    The Salinity and Stratification at the Sea Ice Edge (SASSIE) project is a NASA experiment that aims to understand how salinity anomalies in the upper ocean generated by melting sea ice affect sea surface temperature (SST), stratification, and subsequent sea-ice growth. SASSIE involved a field campaign that sampled the transition from summer melt to autumn ice advance in the Beaufort Sea during August-October 2022, making intensive in situ and remote sensing observations within ~200 km of the sea ice edge. This dataset contains ocean temperature and salinity data collected by surface drifting buoys (called UpTempO or Hydrobuoys, interchangeably) deployed in the Beaufort Sea. Each buoy has a different configuration of sensors, and records to a maximum of 60 m depth. Drifters were left at sea after the completion of the field deployment and are recording data into March 2023. Version 2p data has major quality control performed. Data are available in netCDF format.
