Water temperature, salinity, oxygen, fluorescence, and turbidity from CTD from the Norseman II in the Bering Strait and the Southern Chukchi Sea from 2018-08-11 to 2018-08-19 (NCEI Accession 0189601)

Metadata Updated: July 28, 2023

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and other parameters taken by CTD during the 2018 Bering Strait mooring cruise. Data are in CNV format.

The cruise was funded by the NSF-Arctic Observing Network grants: - PLR-1304052 (PIs: Woodgate, Heimbach and Nguyen), and - PLR-1758565 (PIs: Woodgate and Peralta-Ferriz).

The data are from a ~ 10 day cruise on the US vessel Norseman II from 2018-08-10 to 2018-08-19 sailing from and to Nome, Alaska, USA to the Bering Strait and the Southern Chukchi Sea. The cruise was also to service oceanographic moorings in the strait and those data are archived separately.

A total of 142 casts were taken and are included in this archive. No water samples were taken during this cruise. Stations were taken in US waters near mooring locations and on sections in the Bering Strait and southern Chukchi Sea. See cruise report for map, station locations, calibration, and processing details.

The data are taken using an SBE911p system, recording pressure, temperature (dual system), conductivity (dual system), oxygen (dual system), fluorescence, and turbidity.
