Seaglider and Sensors REMUS Operations offshore of Barrow Pacific Water inflow is concentrated in the region between the coast and Barrow Canyon. The center of Barrow Canyon is only about 20 km offshore of Barrow, with maximum depths of about 120 m. These length scales are well suited to the capabilities of REMUS. The REMUS AUV REMUS is a relatively small (8” daim x 6’ long), light (100 lb) vehicle capable of ~3.5 kt speed and ~12 hr endurance (~75 km along track) with a payload of navigation aids and oceanographic sensors. Cross-Shore Transects The typical cross-shelf hydrography was best characterized by transects from the last mission on 29 August. The warm, fresh surface water (above 20 m) is the Alaskan Coastal Current, which follows the coastal topography after passing through Bering Strait. T/S characteristics below 20 m are consistent with subsurface, summer-water inflow at Bering Strait. Four of the five transects were consistent with this relatively simple picture of coastal hydrography Arctic Species of Interest: most Circumpolar Subsistence Targets WHALES Bowhead Beluga (white) Narwhal SEALS Ringed, Bearded Harp, Hooded Ribbon, Spotted WALRUS POLAR BEAR Frequency ranges of cetacean calls ~ hearing capability: audiograms available for few spp. What Should ANCHOR Participants Do?
