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

Measurements taken in the Gulf of Alaska during 1997.

Measurements made in the north Pacific Ocean from Hawaii toward the Gulf of Alaska in 2001.

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.

This dataset contains physical and biological oceanographic measurements, and atmospheric parameters were taken by CTD, bottles, and other instruments from the R/V Mirai, MR24-07 Leg1, in the Bering Sea to study the general oceanography of the Bering Sea. This dataset is U.S. State Department MSR U2024-010 as part of the World Data Services for Geophysics and Oceanography.

Four time-series data sets are from instruments on biophysical moorings at the established NOAA/PMEL data-collection site "M5" on the eastern Bering Sea Shelf. Mooring were deployed at the M5 site in the Fall of each year; in September in 2015, 2016 and 2017, and October in 2018. Contract Fishing Vessel Aquila was used for deployments in 2015, 2016 and 2018 (cruises AQ1501, AQ1601 and AQ1801, respectively). NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson was used for deployments in 2017 (cruise DY1708). Moorings and instruments were left over winter and recovered the following Fall. Biophysical subsurface mooring filenames, e.g. 15bs-5a, indicate year (15) area (bs) and defined location ("5" for M5). Instrumentation included SeaBird SBE-37 (Microcat), SBE-39, SBE 56 (temperature sensor) profilers and WetLabs EcoFluorometers. Data include temperature, conductivity, salinity, pressure, water depth, raw chlorophyll fluorescence and chlorophyll a. The cruise was funded by NOAA, Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory EcoFOCI program and 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). 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. Data are in NetCDF. Longitudes are in degW.

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.

M4. Biophysical moorings deployed 2014-2018 at established NOAA/PMEL data-collection site "M4" on the eastern Bering Sea Shelf resulted in five annual time-series data sets that are presented herein. Moorings were deployed at the M4 site in the Fall of each year at approximate location 57.89N, 186.9W, NE of the Pribilof Islands, Alaska and SW of Nunivak Island, Alaska; in September 2015, 2016 and 2017, and October in 2014 and 2018. Contract Fishing Vessel Aquila was used for deployments in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 (cruises AQ1401, AQ1501, AQ1601 and AQ1801, respectively). NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson was used for deployment in 2017 (cruise DY1708). Moorings and instruments were left over winter and recovered the following Fall with the exception of the 2018 data set which was left in the water in 2019 due to prohibitive weather conditions and was recovered in 2020. Biophysical subsurface mooring filenames, e.g. 15bs-4a, indicate deployment year (15 for 2015) area (bs is Bering Sea) and defined location ("4" for M4). Instrumentation included SeaBird SBE-37 (Microcat), SBE-39, SBE 56 (temperature sensor) and SBE 16 (Seacat) profilers, and WetLabs EcoFluorometers; instruments and deployed depths varied between years. Data include temperature, conductivity, salinity, pressure, water depth, raw chlorophyll fluorescence and chlorophyll a.
