Chemical data were collected using bottle casts from multiple vessels in the Arctic Ocean and other Sea areas from 16 April 1948 to 17 September 2000. Data were submitted by the University of Alaska in Fairbanks, Alaska. Chemical data include alkalinity, nitrate, nitrite, oxygen, silicate, and phosphate.

Physical and nutrients data were collected using bottle casts from R/V ALPHA HELIX in Gulf of Alaska from December 3, 1980 to December 11, 1998. These data were submitted by Dr. Thomas C. Royer of University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science.

Physical and nutrient profile data were collected using bottle casts from R/V ALPHA HELIX in the Gulf of Alaska from April 6, 1989, to April 11, 1989. Data were submitted by Dr. Thomas C. Royer of University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science. Data were collected by using bottle casts in the Gulf of Alaska.

Meteorological and other data were collected from Prince William Sound (Gulf of Alaska) from moored buoys from 08 October 1991 to 16 December 1998. Buoys are part of the Sea Project Data Sets and data was collected in support of the Sound Ecosystem Analysis (SEAS) project. Parameters include sea temperature and fluorescence.

The University of Alaska, Institute of Marine Science is responsible for these data collected aboard the R/V Alpha Helix on cruises HX123, HX124, HX125, and HX126, between May 5, 1989, and June 10, 1989. These data were collected for the Exxon Oil Spill Monitoring Program and the Gulf of Alaska Recirculation (GARS) Project. Funding was provided by the State of Alaska, Sea Grant, and the National Science Foundation. This data was submitted to NODC earlier. This dataset represents a resubmission due to fact that the earlier version had the wrong offsets applied. Field correction for the STD data was derived by comparing single bottle samples to recorded values from the STD sensors. The field correction is based on 15 samples from a total of 16 stations. The field corrections are: 3000 m CTD temperature mean (Nansen-STD) is 0.00536 and 3000 m CTD salinity mean (Nansen-STD) is -0.04131. Data has been processed by NODC 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. 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.

Profile nutrients and other data were collected from R/V ALPHA HELIX from August 16, 1983 to July 30, 1989. Data were submitted by University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science and California Department of Fish and Game. These data were collected using bottle casts in the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, and Northeast Pacific Ocean.

Temperature profile and nutrients data were collected using bottle casts in the Ross Sea and Southern Oceans from the NATHANIEL B. PALMER. Data were collected from 09 November 1994 to 08 December 1994. The data were submitted by Oregon State University (OSU) with support from the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study / Southern Ocean (JGOFS/Southern Ocean) project.

Nutrients and physical data were collected from R/V THOMAS WASHINGTON and R/V OSHORU MARU from June 12, 1986 to October 19, 1988. Data were submitted by University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science and California Dept of Fish and Game as part of the Inner Shelf Transport and Recycling (ISHTAR) project. Data were collected using bottle and CTD casts in Gulf of the Alaska, Bering Sea, and Northeast Pacific Ocean.

Temperature profile and nutrients data were collected using bottle casts in the Ross Sea and Southern Oceans from the NATHANIEL B. PALMER. Data were collected from 16 December 1995 to 13 January 1996. The data were submitted by Oregon State University (OSU) with support from the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study / Southern Ocean (JGOFS/Southern Ocean) project.
