Abstract
Oceanographic observations made from ice floes by United States naval aircraft in 1951 and 1952 indicate that the circulation of the Polar Sea is more complicated than the cyclonic system suggested by Nansen. The chief feature observed is a large anticyclonic eddy north of Alaska. Some evidence is produced of the existence of a submarine ridge running across the center of the North Polar Basin.Keywords
