Arctic Observing Network (AON) Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) data from the 2004 Beaufort shelf-edge cruise (HLY04), as part of the Western Arctic Shelf-Basin Interactions (SBI) experiment.

This submission contains data collected as a part of the 2004 Beaufort shelf-edge research cruise, a component of the western Arctic Shelf-Basin Interactions (SBI Phase II) experiment. SBI 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 2004 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.
