Abstract

This article outlines the Marginal Ice Zone Experiments (MIZEX), which began in 1983, and summarizes research investigations in Fram Strait during the most recent MIZEX of March and April 1987, involving members of the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI). An important field of investigation was ambient noise in the ice-edge region and the physical processes which produce it.
