Science Plan is now available. The SBI plan is located on the home page
of the ARCSS OAII Science Management Office at

This report, edited by J.M. Grebmeier et al., describes the Western
Arctic Shelf-Basin Interactions program, the motivation behind it, its
scientific objectives, and the plan for achieving those objectives. It
is an outgrowth of two scientific workshops held in March 1995 and
September 1996, and is intended for prospective SBI investigators,
agency personnel, operations and logistics managers, and others
interested in Arctic Ocean processes.
