been obtained without the selfless work, under heavy weather and difficult ice conditions, of
the crews of the RJV "Professor Multanovsky", the icebreaker "Kapitan Dranitsyn" and their
captains, V. Danilenko and O. Agofonov, and the MI-8 helicopter crews of the Tiksi Joint Air
Team headed by I. Litovchenko. The authors are grateful to all these people for their fruitful
work. Much of this article was initiated and written by the Russian and Gennan authors in 1995
and 1996 in GEOMAR, Kie1. The authors gratefully acknowledge assistance of the German
Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology (BMBF Grant No. 525 4003
OG0517 A). The Russian contribution was also supported by the Russian Ministry for Science
and Technical Policy (LAPEX). The authors greatly appreciate the help of the Russian and
German scientific coordinators of the project "Laptev Sea System" - Prof. 1. Thiede and Prof.
L. Timokhov, whose attentive and friendly attitude has enabled the authors to successfully
fulfill these studies. Special thanks are due to Dr. V. Zelensky, Head of the Tiksi Territorial
Administration for Hydrometeorology for providing meteorological information used in the
article and Dr. V. Grishenko, Deputy Director of the AARI for the composite ice charts required
for this study. The English manuscript was kindly improved by Pier Paul Overduin.
