Profile and time series data collected using CTD and current meter in the Chukchi Sea as part of the Circulation of the North Central Chukchi Sea Shelf project from 1991 to 1996

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 28, 2026 at 12:06 AM | Dataset Last Updated: September 17, 2023 at 12:00 AM
This collection includes temperature, salinity, oxygen, and fluorescence profile data from Alpha Helix cruises as well as current meter resultant, water temperature, and salinity time series data collected from moored buoys. The data were collected in the Chukchi Sea and the Gulf of Alaska as part of the Circulation of the North Central Chukchi Sea Shelf project from 1991-09-29 to 1996-09-03. The data were collected by the Institute of Marine Science, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, and was submitted by Dr. Thomas Weingartner.
