Water temperature, salinity, and multiple chemistry parameters taken by CTD and Niskin bottles from the NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown, cruise RB15-05, in the Chukchi Sea from 2015-08-06 to 2015-09-04 (NCEI Accession 0279869)

This CTD and Niskin bottle data set, consisting of 128 physical oceanography and extensive chemistry casts, was collected in the Chukchi Sea cruise from the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown (cruise RB15-05, August 8 - September 4, 2015) for CHukchi Acoustic, Oceanographic, and Zooplankton (CHAOZ) 2015 campaign. The cruise was funded by DOI Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) through the NOAA National Marine Mammal Laboratory. CTD operations on this cruise were managed by EcoFOCI personnel from NOAA/PMEL. Profile data from CTD instruments were processed at NOAA/PMEL/EcoFOCI using standard techniques. Data from bottle samples include phosphate, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, and chlorophyll. Profile data are averaged to a 1-meter grid, with missing data listed as 1e+35.

Eight CTD casts, c119 through c126 are at stations along DBO-3 line (stations 3.1 to 3.8). The DBO-3 region is near Point Hope, Alaska. Eight CTD casts are along the DBO-5 line as such: c088 at DBO-5.1, c089 and c062 at DBO-5.3, c061 at DBO-5.4, c090 at DBO-5.5, c059 at DBO-5.6, c091 at DBO-5.7, and c092 at DBO-5.9. The DBO-5 region is near Barrow, Alaska.

Cruise was conducted and funded by NOAA's National Marine Mammal Laboratory (NMML), Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC), Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), and Ecosystems & Fisheries-Oceanography (EcoFOCI, a joint research program between AFSC and PMEL). Data are in CSV format.
