SCICEX Status
Submarines are the only effective underway platforms in ice-covered water
Broad scientific participation Substantial new data in many fields Possible extension in the future

IF the LMR is extended?Improved instrumentation–Multibeam at multiple frequencies– Flow through water sampling– ?
New instrumentation–Magnetometer– ROV/AU– ?
