This dataset contains water temperature, conductivity, and others taken by CTD and Niskin bottles in the Chukchi Sea during the 10 August - 3 September 2015 Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) research cruise. The data provides information on important Arctic Chukchi Sea ecosystem parameters, including temperature, salinity, pressure, and fluorescence as an index of phytoplankton biomass. In aggregate these variables are basic descriptors of the water masses entering the Chukchi Sea from the Pacific through Bering Strait. The compiled directory consists of three files. - AMBON2015_CTDprofiles.ascii (also in csv and netcdf) - AMBON2015.hdr - AMBON2015_ctdBottleData_L2_v1.csv The first file is an ASCII file consisting of Seabird SBE55 CTD measurements from the depths at which the Niskin bottles were tripped; the file is intended to complement the file named 'AMBON 2015 bottle file new- Nutrients_chlorophyll bottle file.csv' in the Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON): Water column and benthic processes project (Cooper and Grebmeier). The second file is a ASCII file consisting of Seabird SBE55 Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) header information (named AMBON2015.hdr); the file accompanies the main CTD data file. The dataset describes each CTD cast number, location, bottom depth and other ancillary information. The third file is a ASCII file consisting of Seabird SBE55 Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) downcast data (AMBON2015_ctdBottleData_L2_v1.csv). Data were post calibrated and adjusted to bottled samples. Data are in ASCII, CSV, and NetCDF.

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and suspended particulate matter taken by CTD, nets, and other instrumentation in the Bering and Chukchi Seas from the research vessel icebreaker Xue Long during the 5-th Chinese National Arctic Scientific Research Expedition (CHINARE5). The objectives of the CHINARE5 were to improve understanding of basic environmental information of marine hydrology in summer 2012 in areas of the Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea, Chukchi Sea Rise, and to provide basic information for global climate change research. The main work was undertaken through sectional observations of the aforementioned sea areas. Data are in CNV, XLSX formats. This dataset is U.S. State Department MSR U2012-020 as part of the World Data Services for Geophysics and Oceanography.

This dataset contains the edited ship's Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) underway data (horizontal and vertical water velocity components and SST) from the research vessel Norseman II collected in the Chukchi Sea during the 6 August - 25 August 2015 Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) research cruise. The dataset includes bottom depth, water temperature, and water velocity averaged at 30-minute intervals along the ship's route. The data provides information on important Arctic Chukchi Sea ecosystem parameters related to the water masses entering the Chukchi Sea from the Pacific through Bering Strait. The data are in ASCII dat file and were transformed from the native format to netCDF as per NCEI guidelines.

This CTD and Niskin bottles data set, consisting of 71 casts, was collected in the Chukchi Sea from the F/V Aquila (AQ16-01, September 4 - 29, 2016) within the Arctic Long-Term Integrated Mooring Array (ALTIMA) area. The cruise was funded by NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), with supplemental funding from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) through the Arctic Whale Ecology Study (ARCWEST). These data add to long-term datasets begun under several BOEM initiatives (see “Purpose”). CTD operations on this cruise were managed by EcoFOCI personnel from NOAA/PMEL. Profile data from CTD instruments were processed at NOAA/PMEL/EcoFOCI using standard techniques. Data from bottle samples include phosphate, silicate, nitrate, nitrite and ammonium. Profile data are averaged to a 1-meter grid, with missing data listed as NaN. Salinity was calculated (PSS-78), from conductivity and temperature (ITS90). Sigma-t was calculated from primary temperature and salinity. Nutrient samples were analyzed according to the methods of Gordon et al, 1993 and Mantoura, Woodward, 1983 (see references below). Samples were collected in 50 ml high-density polyethylene bottles that were rinsed first with 10% HCl prior to each station, and rinsed at least three times with sample before filling. Some samples were refrigerated for 3-12 hours prior to analysis, and some frozen for later analysis. CTD data contact: Phyllis Stabeno, Peggy Sullivan, Shaun Bell, Calvin Mordy (nutrients). This cruise was conducted by NOAA/OAR, NMML, AFSC, BOEM, PMEL and EcoFOCI participants. Data are in CSV format. Longitudes are in deg_west.

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.
