This is an archive of data from moorings deployed in Bering Strait from summer 2009 to summer 2010. Mooring deployments were funded by the NOAA RUSALCA (Russian-US Long Term Census of the Arctic) program. For 2009 to 2010, a total of eight moorings were deployed. Sites A1, A2, and A3 were established in 1990. A2 and A3 have been occupied almost continuously (all years except 96-97) since then. A1 was occupied for a few years from 1990,(90-91, 92-94) and then again since 2004. Site A4 was established in 2001. Sites A1E and A1W were established in 2005, and also carry Russian instrumentation not included in this archive (although documented in the cruise reports and here). Sites A2W and A4W were established in 2007. For an overview of previous and on-going Bering Strait mooring work, please see http://psc.apl.washington.edu/BeringStrait.html. Moorings carry a variety of instruments. Please see the cruise report for details.

This is an archive of data from moorings deployed in Bering Strait from summer 2015 to summer 2016. Mooring deployments were funded by the NSF-Arctic Observing Network award PLR-1304052 (PI: Woodgate, Heimbach, and Nguyen). The mooring work required 2 dedicated cruises: - in 2015 (1st - 9th July), a ~ 9 day cruise on the US vessel Norseman2 deployed the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately. - in 2016 (7th - 15th July), a ~ 9 day cruise on the US vessel Norseman2 deployed the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately. For 2015 to 2016, 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. For 2013 to 2014, a total of three moorings were deployed. Two moorings (A2 and A4) in the US channel of the strait and 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. 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 Alaska Coastal Current. For an overview of previous and on-going Bering Strait mooring work, please see http://psc.apl.washington.edu/BeringStrait.html. Moorings carry a variety of instruments. All records are year-round, sampling hourly or more frequently.

This is an archive of data from US moorings deployed in the Russian Channel of the Bering Strait from summer 2010 to summer 2012. The deployments were designed to be one year long (from summer 2010 to summer 2011), however clearance issues made it impossible to recover the moorings in summer 2011, and they remained in the water until recovery in August 2012. The extra-long deployment degrades data quality due to biofouling and battery issues. UW personnel were not included in the recovery operation, so little information is available re fouling, and no post-deployment checks were performed. Mooring deployments were funded by the NSF Arctic Observing Network (AON) award ARC-0855748 (PIs: Woodgate, Weingartner, Whitledge and Lindsay) with shiptime support from the NOAA RUSALCA (Russian-US Long Term Census of the Arctic) program. Moorings carry a variety of instruments, listed in the cruise report. All records are year-round, sampling hourly or more frequently (Time Int. in table below). Only two instruments (the SBE37s) ran until recovery in 2012 - the others have shorter records as detailed below. Data from instruments marked with * are not included in this archive. For access to those data, please contact the named PI. The 2010 Cruise report and available notes from the 2012 recoveries are included in this archive.

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.

This is an archive of data from moorings deployed in Bering Strait from summer 2019 and summer 2020 to summer 2021. Mooring deployments were funded by the NSF-Arctic Observing Network award PLR-1758565 (PIs: Woodgate and Peralta-Ferriz). The mooring work required 3 dedicated cruises: - in 2019 (5th - 15th September), a ~ 11 day cruise on the US vessel Norseman2 deployed the 2019 moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately. - in 2020 (1st - 18th September), a ~ 19 day cruise on the US vessel Norseman2 deployed the 2020 moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately. - in 2021 (7th - 17th July), a ~ 11 day cruise on the US vessel Norseman2 recovered all the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately. In both 2019 and 2020, a total of three moorings were deployed (each year): - 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. Although the 2019 moorings would normally have been recovered in 2020, the global COVID-19 pandemic prevented this. Instead, the 2020 cruise only deployed a further 3 new moorings (each ~ 400m west of their usual positions). All 6 moorings were recovered in 2021. 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.

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 from summer 2017 to summer 2018. 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 (PI: Woodgate, Heimbach and Nguyen). Data files are in text format. The mooring work required 2 dedicated cruises: - in 2017 (7th - 15th July), a ~ 9 day cruise on the US vessel Norseman II deployed the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately. - in 2018 (10th - 19th August), a ~ 10 day cruise on the US vessel Norseman II deployed the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately. Mooring names include a two digit suffix to represent year of deployment.
