Title: Physical and meterological data collected by shipboard ADCP and CTD, and moored meterological buoy data collected in the Chukchi Sea from July 2008 to October 2011 by contractors for Shell, ConocoPhillips and Statoil (NODC Accession 0093399)
Abstract: These data were submitted under Annex 1 of the Memorandum of Understanding between NOAA and the oil companies (NOAA Agreement NOS-MOA-2011-080).

These data are part of a multi-year baseline environmental studies data set collected as part of the permitting process prior to drilling exploration wells. The objectives of the Chukchi Sea Environmental Baseline Studies Program are: 1. To provide data for pre-exploration and development-related activities 2. To provide data for permit applications 3. To provide input to planning of future operations and associated mitigation 4. To provide additional baseline data that can be used to assess and measure the potential environmental effects of offshore oil and gas exploration and development in the northeastern Chukchi Sea.
