This dataset contains data collected by 15 drifting autonoumous ice buoys (Metocean CALIB) during the drift buoys experiment FRAMZY 1999. The buoys were deployed from a transport aircraft in an array at 81°N, -4°E in the northern part of Fram Strait on 3 April 1999. While drifting through Fram Strait the buoys delivered at approximately 1-hourly time intervalls position, sea level pressure and temperature for several months with the last buoy transmitting until 30 April 1999.
