“…c~ AUVs have been employed for Arctic science since the 1970s, however operations are typically limited to excursions from ice holes on the order of kilometers (Nodland, 1976;Light and Morrison, 1989;Bellingham and Leonard, 1994). Perhaps the longest under-ice run has been achieved in the deployment of a fiber optic cable from Ellesmere Island to an ice camp 175 km offshore by a very large AUV (Butler and Black, 1997).…”

“…They can allow an icebreaker to make observations otherwise impossible, for example resolving horizontal ocean structure in high resolution, or making measurements under multi-year ice, where an ice-breaker cannot penetrate. However, prior to the ALTEX cruise, Arctic AUV operations under ice had been conducted from ice camps not from ice-breakers [5,6,7,8]. \The ALTEX AUV was conceived as a platform capable of operating independent of a ship over ranges up to 1500 km in the Arctic basin [1].…”

An autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) designed for operation at high latitudes and under ice, completed its first Arctic field tests from the USCGC Healy in October 2001. The ALTEX (Atlantic Layer Tracking EXperiment) AUV's initial application was focused on tracking the warm Atlantic Layer inflow[1] -the primary source of seawater to the Arctic Ocean. The primary payloads were twin pumped CTD systems. Oxygen and nitrate sensors provide the ability to use NO (dissolved oxygen corrected by nitrate to account for biological respiration) as a nearly conservative tracer. An ice profiling sonar allowed the AUV to estimate the ice thickness in real-time and was designed to generate high quality post-processed ice draft data comparable to that collected through the SCICEX program. Sections of water properties were obtained in the marginal ice zone and ice thickness measurements made in the ice pack. Marginal ice observations showed mixing of the warm Atlantic layer to the surface, causing melting of ice even as winter approached.
