Oceanography at the top of the world

Andrey Proshutinsky is an Oceanographer at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute who studies Ocean circulation at the top of the world in the Arctic Ocean.   Andrey has generously contributed his computer model simulation of the Arctic ocean circulation for use in the Drift Arrow project.   You can visit the drift map link to view his computer model predictions of where the arrows have drifted.  Drift track maps are updated monthly with each run of his model. 

Andrey's web site has a wealth of information and has a great section on the history of geographic and science expedtions to the Arctic.    This video shows what Andrey Proshutinsky is studying in the Arctic.
