Arctic Ice Dynamics Joint Experiment (AIDJEX) Second Pilot Study, March - May 1972: Still Images, Version 1

Additional details on the AIDJEX experiment can be found on the NOAA@NSIDC AIDJEX web site . Also, a detailed description of the observational program and a running account of the results can be found in the AIDJEX Bulletin series published between 1970 and the end of the project in 1978. The Polar Science Center at the University of Washington maintains an AIDJEX electronic library at psc.apl.washington.edu/nonwp_projects/aidjex/ .

It includes downloadable copies of the contents of all 40 AIDJEX Bulletins, AIDJEX Operations Manuals for the Pilot Study and the Main Experiment, and other resources. These photographs existed as 8” x 10” prints in the analog collection of material at NSIDC, and were scanned under the direction of the NSIDC archivist around 2007. The captions come from text that was written on the prints.

Some captions may have been added to at a later date. At least four of the photographs are not from AIDJEX. According to the captions, they were taken in 1974.

We believe that these photographs, like other aerial shots, were taken by Pat Martin, and included with other 8” x 10” prints that may have been sent to NSIDC by personnel at CRREL. The spreadsheet file may have erroneous information for these. The track of T-3, as well as data from T-3 and other drifting ice stations, can be found on the EWG Arctic Meteorology and Climate Atlas
