Title: Physical oceanographic mooring data (temperature, salinity, velocity including ADCP ice tracking, bottom pressure) collected from Bering Strait Moorings in Bering Strait from 2011-07-14 to 2013-07-05 (NODC Accession 0138173)
Abstract: This is an archive of data from moorings deployed in the US waters ofthe Bering Strait from summer 2011 to summer 2013 (with mooring servicing in summer 2012).

Mooring deployments were funded by the NSF Arctic Observing Network (AON) award ARC-0855748 (PIs: Woodgate, Weingartner, Whitledge and Lindsay) with shiptime support from the NOAA RUSALCA (Russian-US Long Term Census of the Arctic) program.

The mooring work required 3 dedicated cruises:
- in 2011 (12th - 23rd July), a ~ 12 day cruise on the Russian vessel Khromov (also called the Spirit of Enderby) deployed the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately.
- in 2012 (10th - 20th July), a ~ 11 day cruise on the Russian vessel Khromov (also called the Spirit of Enderby) recovered and redeployed the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately.
- in 2013 (3rd - 10th July), a ~ 8 day cruise on the US vessel Norseman2 recovered the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately. (Note that this cruise also redeployed a subest of the moorings, under ONR funding.)

For 2011 to 2012, a total of 8 moorings were deployed:
- 7 moorings (D1, A2W, A2E, A2, A4W, A4, A5) in the US channel of the strait,
- 1 mooring (A3) at a site just north of the strait.
For 2012 to 2013, a subset (5) of these 8 moorings were redeployed:
- 4 moorings (A2W, A2, A4W, A4) in the US channel of the strait,
- 1 mooring (A3) at a site just north of the strait.
In what follows, mooring names include a two digit suffix to represent year of deployment.

Moorings carry a variety of instruments, listed in the table below. All records are year-round, sampling hourly or more frequently (Time Int. in table below). Data from instruments marked with * are not included in this archive. For access to these data, please contact the named PI in list below table.
