Description:
Movement of pack ice in Smith Sound in northern Baffin Bay was observed for April 1975 using the satellite imagery obtained by Landsat. Mean velocity was found to be directed to the south with a magnitude of 4 km d−1. The influence of the wind is discussed and the amount of ice transported from Smith Sound evaluated. The findings show that on a daily average 600 km2 of pack ice was carried out of the area.
