The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Gulf of Alaska, Chukchi Sea, and NW Pacific (limit-180). Data was collected from cruises HX 161, HX 163, HX 165 and HX 167 of R/V ALPHA HELIX. The data was collected over a period spanning from March 16, 1992 to October 27, 1992. Data was submitted in one exabyte cassette by Dr. Thomas C. Royer, Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, AK. CTD data is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC. The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-temperature-depth) instruments. As they are lowered and raised in the oceans, these electronic devices provide nearly continuous profiles of temperature, salinity, and other parameters. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering or obtained by interpolation and may be reported at depth intervals as fine as 1m. Cruise and instrument information, position, date, time and sampling interval are reported for each station. Environmental data at the time of the cast (meteorological and sea surface conditions) may also be reported. The data record comprises values of temperature, salinity or conductivity, density (computed sigma-t), and possibly dissolved oxygen or transmissivity at specified depth or pressure levels. Data may be reported at either equally or unequally spaced depth or pressure intervals. A text record is available for comments.

The University of Alaska, Institute of Marine Science is responsible for this data collected aboard the R/V Alpha Helix on cruise number HX90 between 2022 17-Sep-1986 to 25-Sep-1986 by Dr. R. Tripp of the Department of Oceanography, University of Washington. There was a total of 43 stations in the Bering and Chukchi Sea area. The station numbers are: 1-43. Data has been processed to the NODC standard High-Resolution STD/CTD Data (F022) format. The F022 format contains high-resolution data collected using CTD (conductivity-temperature-depth) and STD (salinity-temperature-depth) instruments. As they are lowered and raised in the oceans, these electronic devices provide nearly continuous profiles of temperature, salinity, and other parameters.

The Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea. Data was collected from Ship ALPHA HELIX. The data was collected over a period spanning from September 9, 1993 to October 10, 1993. Data was submitted in a diskette by Dr. Chirk Chu, Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, AK. Data has been processed and is available in F022-CTD-Hi Resolution file format of NODC. F022 High-resolution CTD data is collected from high resolution (conductivity-temperature-depth) instruments.

This collection includes temperature, salinity, oxygen, and fluorescence profile data from Alpha Helix cruises as well as current meter resultant, water temperature, and salinity time series data collected from moored buoys. The data were collected in the Chukchi Sea and the Gulf of Alaska as part of the Circulation of the North Central Chukchi Sea Shelf project from 1991-09-29 to 1996-09-03. The data were collected by the Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, and was submitted by Dr. Thomas Weingartner.

The data were collected by Flow Industries, Inc., under contract number 03-78-B01-61, "The Transport and Behavior of Oil Spilled In and Under Sea Ice", to NOAA. The data are primarily from drifting ice buoys and were collected in the Chukchi Sea, NW Coast of Alaska during the period December 19, 1981 to January 1, 1982 from six drifting buoys as part of Flow Project Icespil III. Three of the buoys have current and/or pressure records. Data has been processed to the NODC standard Drifting Buoy Data (F156) format. The F156 data type contains time series ocean circulation data determined by tracking the movement of drifting buoys, drogues or other instrumented devices. Movement is reported as point-to-point geographic locations determined by shore-based, surface ship, aircraft or satellite observations. Data from both ocean currents and sea ice movement can be reported in this format over time periods ranging from minutes to months. Directions and speeds between individual observations may be computed from these data and presented in graphic or summary listing form to provide information on circulation patterns and mass transport in offshore and nearshore regions. Platform name (for platform acquiring data or deploying device), drogue characteristics, start and end positions and times, and observation frequency (if constant time interval) are reported for each series of observations. The data record comprises position, date and time for each observation. Other surface meteorological or oceanographic parameters (e.g., water temperature and salinity, air temperature and pressure, wind, waves) and subsurface data (depth, pressure, temperature) may also be reported. Text records may be used to report general comments or to describe individual drogue observations.

The water depth and temperature data was collected in Beaufort Sea and Chukchi Sea from ship POLAR STAR by the US COAST GUARD. The data was collected between July 20, 1993 and October 10, 1993. One diskette of originator's Arctic west bathythermograph (XBT) data from summer of 1993 was submitted to NODC. The data has been copied to current storage media of NODC.

Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CTD) and other data were collected in Bering Sea as part of Inner SHelf Transfer and recycling (ISHTAR) and "St. Lawrence Island Polynya" project. Data was collected from Ship ALPHA HELIX cruise HX-177. The data was collected over a period spanning from May 3, 1994 and June 8, 1994.
