Water temperature, salinity, and others taken by CTD, ADCP, and other instrumentation from research vessel icebreaker Xue Long in the North Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea, and Arctic Ocean. The 8th Chinese National Arctic Scientific Research Expedition (8th CHINARE) voyaged within the U. S. Exclusive Economic Zone from 20 to 25 September 2017, traversing the Bering and Chukchi Seas. The objectives of the 8th Chinese National Arctic Scientific Research Expedition were to improve understanding of basic environmental information of marine hydrology and sea ice variation in summer 2017 in areas of the Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea, Chukchi Sea Rise and Canadian Basin, and to provide basic information for global climate change research. Data sets of fundamental environmental parameters (temperature, salinity, depth, nutrients and Chlorophyll a (Chl a), the abundance of bacterioplankton, and records of benthic macroinvertebrates and demersal fish were obtained within this zone. During the 8th CHINARE, 23 stations defining four sections were investigated. Altogether, 997 conductivity /temperature /depth measurements, 99 nutrient data sets, 99 dissolved organic carbon (DIC) measurements, 99 dissolved oxygen (DO) measurements, 100 Chl a measurements, 42 particulate organic carbon/particulate nitrogen (POC/PN) measurements, 84 bacterioplankton abundance measurements, as well as records of benthic macroinvertebrates and demersal fish were collected. In addition, one set of hydrological mooring systems were recovered, although only one set was redeployed. These data are part of the World Data Service for Oceanography and US State Department Marine Research U2017-023 Data are text, XLSX, HEX, binary formats. XLSX were converted to CSV.

The objectives of The 6th Chinese National Arctic Scientific Research Expedition were to improve understanding of basic environmental information of marine hydrology in high latitude areas. The China Arctic Expedition of 2014 (Chinare 2014) campaign was designed to provide basic information for global climate change research. The main work was undertaken through sectional observations of the above mentioned sea areas. During the 6th Chinese National Arctic Research Expedition, about 14 days (2014.7.22—2014.8.4) had been taken to investigate the marine physical, chemical oceanography and biological ecology, as well as marine geology. Different parameters had been observed, including 53 CTD sites, 53 LADCP sites, 12 Chlorophyll sites, 19 Zooplankton sites and 22 Nutrients sites. Besides, 16 sedimentary cores or surface sediments had been collected. These data are submitted as part of the World Data Service for Oceanography, Marine Research data U2014-022. Data are in text, XLS, and binary formats.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and other parameters taken by CTD during the 2018 Bering Strait mooring cruise. Data are in CNV format. The cruise was funded by the NSF-Arctic Observing Network grants: - PLR-1304052 (PIs: Woodgate, Heimbach and Nguyen), and - PLR-1758565 (PIs: Woodgate and Peralta-Ferriz). The data are from a ~ 10 day cruise on the US vessel Norseman II from 2018-08-10 to 2018-08-19 sailing from and to Nome, Alaska, USA to the Bering Strait and the Southern Chukchi Sea. The cruise was also to service oceanographic moorings in the strait and those data are archived separately. A total of 142 casts were taken and are included in this archive. No water samples were taken during this cruise. Stations were taken in US waters near mooring locations and on sections in the Bering Strait and southern Chukchi Sea. See cruise report for map, station locations, calibration, and processing details. The data are taken using an SBE911p system, recording pressure, temperature (dual system), conductivity (dual system), oxygen (dual system), fluorescence, and turbidity.

This data set contains physical oceanographic data from acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP) and conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sensors on moorings in the Bering Strait for a year beginning July 2016. There were a total of three moorings. Two moorings (A2 and A4) are in the US zone of the strait and one mooring (A3) is at a site just north of the strait. Mooring deployments were funded by the NSF-Arctic Observing Network award PLR-1304052. Data files are in text format.

This is an archive of water temperature, salinity, ADCP velocity, including ice tracking data from moorings deployed in Bering Strait from summer 2018 to summer 2019. Mooring deployments were funded by the NSF-Arctic Observing Network award PLR-1758565 (PIs: Woodgate and Peralta-Ferriz). The mooring work required 2 dedicated cruises: - in 2018 (10th - 19th August), a ~ 10 day cruise on the US research vessel Norseman II deployed the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately. - in 2019 (5th - 15th September), a ~ 11 day cruise on the US research vessel Norseman II deployed the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately. For 2018 to 2019, a total of three moorings were deployed: - two moorings (A2 and A4) in the US channel of the strait, - one mooring (A3) at a site just north of the strait. In what follows, mooring names include a two digit suffix to represent year of deployment. Sites A2, and A3 were established in 1990. A2 and A3 have been occupied almost continuously (all years except 96-97) since then. Site A4 was established in 2001. Mooring location A2 is in the middle of the eastern (Alaskan side) channel. Mooring location A3 is just north of the strait, immediately east of the Russian-US EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) line. Experience has shown that site A3 samples both eastern and western channel water. Mooring location A4 is close to the Alaskan coast and allows measurement of the Alaskan Coastal Current.
