This dataset contains sea surface temperature and salinity data in August 2012 - 2014 in the North Pacific and Bering Sea. Data were measured continuously during at-sea surveys using a hull-mounted thermosalinograph (SeaBird Electronics Inc® SBE 21). Data are output in a CNV file format to be processed by Seabird Electronics Inc® Software version Seasave V 7.23.2.

Salinity data were collected using moored current meter casts in the North Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea, and Gulf of Alaska from October 3, 1984 to May 1, 1988. Data were submitted by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) as part of the Arctic Polynya EXperiment (APEX) and Fisheries-Oceanography Cooperative Investigation (FOCI) project. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard F015- Current Meter Data and F017- Pressure Gauge Data formats. The F015 format is used for time series measurements of ocean currents. These data are obtained from current meter moorings and represent Eulerian method of current measurement, i.e., the meters are deployed at a fixed point and measure flow past a sensor. Position, bottom depth, sensor depth, and meter characteristics are reported for each station. The data record comprises values of east-west (u) and north-south (v) current vector components at specified date and time. Current direction is defined as the direction toward which the water is flowing with positive directions east and north and negative directions west and south. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at 10-15 minute time intervals. Water temperature, pressure, and conductivity or salinity may also be reported. A text record is available for optional comments. The F017 format contains time series measurements of seawater pressure from anchored or bottom-mounted sensors. Measurements of variations at depth of seawater pressure provide information on tidal and storm flows, ocean circulation, and other phenomena that cause changes in sea surface elevation or slope and that can be detected from their pressure signature. Position, bottom depth, and gauge depth are reported for each station. The data record comprises values of total pressure at specified date and time. Data values may be subject to averaging or filtering and are typically reported at time intervals of 10-15 minutes. Seawater temperature may also be reported. Comments may be reported in a text record.

Measurements taken in the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea during 1997 and 1998.

This dataset contains 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 7th Chinese Arctic Research Expedition targets on the global climate change and the correlations of sea ice variation, as well as its effects on the environment and ecosystem in Arctic Ocean. The major studies are focused on physical oceanography, marine chemistry, marine geology and marine ecology. The objectives of the studies are: 1) Investigation of primary path of pacific waters and land-derived fresh waters input to Canada Basin; 2) Observation on marine chemical parameters in Arctic Ocean and the influences on cycling of biogeochemistry. 3) Identification of plankton species and bio-diversity in Arctic area. The cruise was carried out during 11 July to 26 September, 2016. The field work in the U.S. EEZ was a part of this cruise. During the field work in the U.S. EEZ, observations/measurements of physical oceanography, meteorology, marine chemistry, marine Biology and marine geology are occupied in the Bering Sea and the Chukchi Sea. These data are part of the World Data Service for Oceanography and U.S State Department Marine Research dataset U2016-024. Data are in XLSX, HEX, binary formats. XLSX were converted into CSV.

This dataset contains measurements conducted as part of meteorological and hydrographic surveys including marine biogeochemical samplings in the northern Bering Sea and Arctic Ocean on board the R/V Mirai, cruise MR16-06, from 22 August to 5 October 2016 under the Arctic Challenge for Sustainability (ArCS) Project. This dataset is U.S. State Department MSR U2016-011 as part of the World Data Service for Oceanography and Geophysics. Cruise data are available from the JAMSTEC DARWIN portal (see the Documentation).

Biophysical moorings were deployed 2009-2014 at "M5", an established NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) research data-collection site on the eastern Bering Sea Shelf (approx. 59.9°N, 171.7°W), collecting time series data at various depths in the water column. Six moorings were deployed in the Fall (July-September) of each year, overwintering for 8.5-12 months, and three additional summer moorings were deployed (July-September, 2009 and 2010, and May-August, 2011). Various ocean research ships were used for data collection including NOAA research vessels Miller Freeman (MF09-04L2, MF10-06), Oscar Dyson (DY10-06), UNOLS ship Knorr (KN195-10) and charter vessel F/V Aquila (AQ12-01, AQ13-01, AQ14-01). Biophysical subsurface mooring filenames, e.g. 12bs-5a, indicate year (12), Bering Sea area (bs) and defined location ("5" for M5). Instrumentation included SeaBird SBE-37 (Microcat), SBE-39 and SBE-16 (SeaCat) recorders, WetLabs EcoFluorometers, Aanderaa Seaguard RCM-9 current meters and PMEL MTR temperature sensors. Data include temperature, conductivity, salinity, pressure, water depth, oxygen concentration (microgram/kg), oxygen saturation (%), raw chlorophyll fluorescence (V), chlorophyll a (microgram/l), current components U and V, and current speed and direction. Each of the 9 deployments has a subset of listed instruments and variables. See Cruise reports and data files for specifics. The cruises and data collection were funded by the NOAA, Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory EcoFOCI program and the NOAA Arctic Research Program with additional support from AOOS, the NOAA-regional ocean data partnership. The Ecosystem and Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (EcoFOCI) program is a partnership with NOAA PMEL and NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC). In 2012, 2013 and 2014, the DOE, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) supported part of the work through the ARCWEST and CHAOZ-X projects. Scientists from PMEL and the University of Washington cooperative institute (CICOES) collaborated in this data collection and related data processing and analysis. Deployment and recovery operations on this cruise were managed by EcoFOCI personnel from NOAA/PMEL, NOAA/AFSC and UW/CICOES. Mooring time series data were processed at NOAA/PMEL/EcoFOCI using standard techniques. Time is recorded as UTC. Data contacts: Phyllis Stabeno, Shaun Bell, Ryan McCabe, Peggy Sullivan. Longitudes are in degW.
