Ocean velocity, and biophysical measurements (temperature, salinity and others) collected by ADCP and CTD from Mooring Stations in Southeast Alaska, Cross Sound (CS-1), and Chatham Strait (CH-1) by NOAA, PMEL, EcoFOCI in 2005 (2005-08-11 to 2005-11-29) and 2006 (2006-08-28 to 2007-03-22). Deployed and Recovered from ADF&G research vessel Medeia (NCEI Accession 0292692)

These time-series data sets consist of Current Profiler data and biophysical data from moored instruments at 2 locations in Southeast Alaska in 2005 and 2006. A Cross Sound (CS-11) mooring was deployed August through November 2005 at 58.17 N, 136.57 W. In 2006 moorings were deployed in August at both Cross Sound (CS-11, 58.17 N, 136.57 W) and Chatham Strait (CH-1, 56.50 N, 134.39 W), and recovered in March of 2007. Data from these moored instruments include current speed and direction, calculated current components U and V, temperature, conductivity, salinity, pressure, water depth and calculated Sigma-T values. Instrumentation included Teledyne-RDI Long-Ranger 75khz ADCP (LRCP) and SeaBird SBE-37 (Microcat). Instruments were deployed and recovered from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game ship R/V Medeia. The cruise was funded by NOAA, EcoFOCI (Ecosystems and Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations) and NPCREP (North Pacific Climate Regimes and Ecosystem Productivity) programs. Operations on these cruises were managed by EcoFOCI personnel from NOAA/PMEL. Mooring time series data were processed at PMEL using standard techniques. Time is recorded as UTC. Data contacts: Phyllis Stabeno, Shaun Bell, Ryan McCabe, Peggy Sullivan. Collected with participation from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), ; Ecosystems and Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (EcoFOCI); University of Washington, Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (CICOES). Data are in NetCDF. Longitudes are in degW.
