Bering Strait CTD (conductivity, temperature, and depth) data, 2018 (NCEI Accession 0282240)

browse graphicPreview graphic
This is an archive of CTD (conductivity, temperature, and depth) data from the 2018 Bering Strait mooring cruise. The cruise was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF)-Arctic Observing Network grants:

- PLR (Division of Polar Programs) -1304052 (PIs (Principal Investigators): Woodgate, Heimbach and Nguyen), and

- PLR-1758565 (PIs: Woogate and Peralta-Ferriz).

The data are from a ~ 10 day cruise on the United States (US) vessel Norseman II from 10th-19th August 2018 sailing from and to Nome, Alaska to the Bering Strait and 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

- turbidity
