were flown by the ship's hehcopters with R. A. 

 LINDSAY, AGC, as ice observer. The observa- 

 tions during these flights together with the ice 

 observations made during U.S. Navy flights 

 were used to prepare the chart of figure 4 

 showing the ice conditions of 26-30 July from 

 Point Barrow eastward to Barter Island.

Data Presentation 



The temperature and salinity distributions 

 at the surface for the two occupations of the 

 sections are shown in figures 5-8. These figures 

 were prepared making the assumption of quasi- 

 synoptic observations. Figure 9 and 10 are 

 representations of the mean current vectors 

 at 5 meters from direct measurement at each 

 oceanographic station taken nearly simultane- 

 ously with the physical and chemical observa- 

 tions. Vertical profiles of temperature, salinity, 

 oxygen and current speed for each section are 

 included in this report along with the bottom 

 profiles (figures 11-18). The vertical exag- 

 geration for these cross sections is 1798:1.
