Oceanographic Profile Data from Gulf of Alaska Fjords, 2004-2011

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: September 10, 2026 at 10:12 PM | Dataset Last Updated: October 17, 2024 at 12:00 AM
This dataset contains physical oceanographic data within four fjords in the coastal area of the Gulf of Alaska. Data were collected with a Seabird Electronics conductivity-temperature-depth profiler equipped with external sensors and a water sampler. Glacier runoff provides a link between terrestrial systems and nearshore coastal processes, whereby freshwater input influences the physical oceanographic properties and circulation of fjords (Arimitsu et al. 2016).
