170907-N-PO203-049 GREENLAND (Sep. 7, 2017) Lt. Cmdr. John Woods, Office of Naval Research (ONR) reserve component, and Ignatius Rigor, University of Washington, discuss weather conditions in the high Arctic while at Thule Air Force Base in Greenland, prior to a buoy deployment mission near the North Pole. Two Air-Deployable Expendable Ice Buoys (AXIB) were deployed from a Royal Danish Air Force C-130 aircraft as part of the International Arctic Buoy Program (IABP). The IABP is a conglomeration of global participants that maintain a network of drifting buoys in the Arctic Ocean that provide meteorological and oceanographic data for real-time operational requirements and research purposes.
