Even in Winter, Life Persists in Arctic Seas
Reference- http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/02/120222154637.htm
Summary- Life in the frigid waters off Alaska does not grind to a halt in the winter as scientists previously suspected. According to preliminary results from a National Science Foundation funded research cruise, microscopic creatures at the base of the Arctic food chain are not dormant as expected. In waters where winds sometimes topped 70 knots wind chills fell to 40 degrees. Samples often had to be hustled safely inside before seawater froze to the deck.
Critique- Researchers didn’t get that much information to show accurate results.
Impact- Waters where the wind sometimes topped to 70 knots the samples weren’t accurate because of the samples to be transported right away because the weather was 40 degrees.
