The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Temperature, salinity, velocity including ADCP ice tracking, and bottom pressure collected from Bering Strait Moorings A1W, A1, A1E, A2W, A2, A4W, A4, A3 in Bering Strait from 2009-08-26 to 2010-08-03 (NODC Accession 0138582) |
| Abstract: | This is an archive of data from moorings deployed in Bering Strait from summer 2009 to summer 2010. Mooring deployments were funded by the NOAA RUSALCA (Russian-US Long Term Census of the Arctic) program. The mooring work required 2 dedicated cruises: - in 2009 (23rd Aug - 2nd Sept), a ~ 10 day cruise on the Russian vessel Khromov deployed the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and these data are archived separately. (Note that this cruise also recovered similar moorings, under NSF-IPY funding.) - in 2010 (31st July - 11th Aug), a ~ 11 day cruise on the Russian vessel Khromov recovered the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and these data are archived separately. (Note that this cruise also deployed similar moorings, under NSF-AON funding.) For 2009 to 2010, a total of eight moorings were deployed: - three moorings (A1W, A1, A1E, also called A12, A11 and A13) in the Russian channel of the Strait - four moorings (A2W, A2, A4W, A4) in the US channel of the strait - one 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. Sites A1, A2, and A3 were established in 1990. A2 and A3 have been occupied almost continuously (all years except 96-97) since then. A1 was occupied for a few years from 1990,(90-91, 92-94) and then again since 2004. Site A4 was established in 2001. Sites A1E and A1W were established in 2005, and also carry Russian instrumentation not included in this archive (although documented in the cruise reports and here). Sites A2W and A4W were established in 2007. Mooring location A1 (also called A1-1) is in the middle of the western (Russian side) channel. Mooring location A1W (also called A1-2) is between A1 and the Russian coast. Mooring location A1E (also called A1-3) is between A1 and the Diomede Islands, which divide the strait. Mooring location A2 is in the middle of the eastern (Alaskan side) channel. Mooring location A3 is just north of the strait, immediately east of the Russian-US EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) line. Experience has shown that site A3 samples both eastern and western channel water. Mooring location A4 is close to the Alaskan coast and allows measurement of the Alaska Coastal Current. For an overview of previous and on-going Bering Strait mooring work, please see http://psc.apl.washington.edu/BeringStrait.html. 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.
