Arctic Observing Network (AON) Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) data from the 2020 Beaufort shelf-edge cruise (SKQ2020-14s), as part of the Monitoring the Western Arctic Boundary Current in a Warming Climate: Atmospheric Forcing and Oceanographic Response cruise

This submission contains data collected as a part of the 2020 Beaufort shelf-edge research cruise titled Monitoring the Western Arctic Boundary Current in a Warming Climate: Atmospheric Forcing and Oceanographic Response, funded by National Science Foundation (NSF). This experiment was a multi-year field program, jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation and Office of Naval Research, designed to investigate the manner in which the continental shelves communicate with the interior Arctic basin.
This submission contains data from the 2020 research cruise, which has collected a consistent and detailed timeseries of physical oceanographic observations together with other expeditions beginning in 2002 until present. Funding for this long-term data collection has been supported by the NSF Arctic Observing Network.

本提交数据集包含2020年波弗特陆架边缘科考航次所采集的数据，该航次主题为《气候变暖背景下北极西部边界流监测：大气强迫与海洋学响应》，由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation, NSF）资助。本科考项目为一项多年度野外考察计划，由美国国家科学基金会与美国海军研究办公室联合资助，旨在探究大陆架与北极内陆海盆之间的物质与能量交换机制。
本提交数据集涵盖2020年科考航次的观测数据，该航次与2002年至今的历次考察共同构建了一套连续且详尽的物理海洋观测时间序列。该项长期数据采集工作的资助由美国国家科学基金会北极观测网络项目提供。
