Description: The 1987 Marginal Ice Zone Experiment (MIZEX 87) was a multi-national      interdisciplinary project in the Fram Strait from 19 March to 11 April 1987. Surface      and upper-level measurements of meteorological parameters were obtained from three      ships, the R/V Polar Circle, the R/V Haakon Mosby and the R/V valdivia. This atlas      contains: 1) Time series of surface wind velocity, barometric pressure, relative humidity,      and atmospheric temperature from the ships; 2) Maps showing six-hour averages of the      locations of the ships and ice edge, and surface wind velocity vectors at the ships; 3)      High-resolution profiles of wind, temperature and humidity up to 2500 m; and 4) Maps      of sea- level pressure every 12 hours. Keywords: Arctic meteorology; Marginal ice      zones.
