Beaufort Gyre hydrographic data: Temperature, salinity and transmissivity data from the Louis S St. Laurent in the 
Arctic Ocean, 2003 - 2008 (NODC Accession 0058268)

Abstract:	The major goal of the observational program is to determine the variability of different components of the 
Beaufort Gyre fresh water (ocean and sea ice) system and to assess the partial concentrations of fresh water of different
origin (rivers, Pacific Ocean, precipitation, ice/snow melt, etc). Using moorings, drifting buoys, shipboard, and remote 
sensing measurements we have been measuring time series of temperature, salinity, currents, geochemical tracers, sea ice 
draft, and sea level since August 2003, to determine freshwater content and freshwater fluxes in the Beaufort Gyre during 
a complete seasonal cycle and beyond.

Hello Melissa,

I am sorry for delay with our response.
I was traveling and Rick is in the BG expedition now.
Yes, please use BG data for NODC purposes and place the
data for public access and create an archive of the
CTD data. Currently, all our BG data are also archived
at CADIS: http://www.aoncadis.org/.

Best regards,
Andrey
