(20 - 27 April 2015)
Ice drift
The ice camp moved 53 nautical miles (98.5 km) during week 34 (Fig. 1). Steady 20-30 knot winds from the west were generated by a region of low surface air pressure centered at the North Pole up until Wednesday 22 April. Continued westerly winds were subsequently forced by a strong high pressure cell over the Canadian Arctic Islands for the remainder of the week (Fig. 2).
