ASCOS CTD data 01

ASCOS was an interdisciplinary expedition to the central Arctic on the icebreaker Oden from 1 August to 9 September 2008. The expedition focused on processes relating to cloud formation in the summer Arctic and included observations of marine biology and chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, physical oceanography, aerosol chemistry and physics, and meteorology. This data set contains profiles of temperature, salinity, density and pressure in the upper 500 m of the ocean. Data are obtained using a microstructure profiler, MSS-90L, deployed through the ice ~160m from the ship.
