Definition
- The Polar Science Center (PSC) is a unit of the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington. PSC was established in 1978 at the end of the multiyear Arctic Ice Dynamics Joint Experiment (AIDJEX), a major NSF/ONR program. In 1982 PSC was incorporated into the Applied Physics Laboratory, a multidisciplinary research facility. PSC provides comprehensive logistics and support for numerous polar field experiments. The following list summarizes our areas of research: - Air-ice-ocean energy transfer - Fundamental theory and experiments on crystal growth - Ice, ocean, and atmosphere modeling - Polar climatology - Polar oceanography - Satellite remote sensing - Sea ice buoy development - Sea ice dynamics and thermodynamics - Under-ice sonar and underwater vehicle development To learn more about PSC visit the home page at "http://psc.apl.washington.edu/" (en)
