Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Arctic Observing Network (AON) Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data collected by United States Coast Guard Cutter (USCGC) Healy (HLY1003), Beaufort Sea - 152 West, 2010 (NCEI Accession 0302981)

This data has been collected and submitted as part of the Distributed Biological Observatory (DBO) program. Data were originally collected as part of the AON project, headed by Robert Pickart (rpickart@whoi.edu). Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) data were taken aboard the USCGC Healy during HLY1003. During this cruise, data were taken along the established repeat hydrography transects, DBO5 and DBO6. This submission includes CTD data from the DBO6 transect. There are ten dcc data files containing the following parameters: pressure, depth, temperature, conductivity, oxygen, fluorescence, practical salinity, density, and potential temperature.
