Jim Johnson provides technical and operational support to scientific research and development activities, particularly in mooring work. He assists with oceanographic instrumentation repair and maintenance, logistics, and deployment and recovery of instruments. He has participated in many field projects around the world, including tropical, temperate, and polar oceans. In the Arctic he has worked in the Beaufort, Bering, Chukchi, and Greenland seas.
Mr. Johnson joined the School of Oceanography, University of Washington, in 1988. He moved to the Polar Science Center in 1993.

Eulerian time series form an important element of the modern oceanographic toolbox. As part of the North Pole Environmental Observatory, we therefore maintained a bottom-anchored, instrumented mooring within ~55 km of the North Pole from 2001 to 2010. The mooring site was over the Pole Abyssal Plain in water ~4,300 m deep, a location that illuminated boundary current evolution along the Eurasian flank of the Lomonosov Ridge and events in the interior ocean away from the boundary. Standard measurements have included velocity, temperature, salinity, and pressure at various depths, as well as ice thickness. In 2005 and 2006, sensors for bio-optics and nutrients were added. |
