Arctic Observing Network (AON) observations from the 2018-2020 Beaufort shelf-edge mooring array

This submission contains data collected as a part of the 2020-2022 Beaufort shelf-edge mooring array, which was designed to investigate the manner in which the continental shelves communicate with the interior Arctic basin. Funding was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF). This submission contains data from the BS3 mooring site, which has collected a consistent and detailed timeseries of physical oceanographic observations beginning in 2002 until present. Funding for this long-term data collection has been supported by the NSF Arctic Observing Network. The Arctic Observing Network (AON) program encourages proposals to make long-term field observations to detect and understand Arctic system change occurring on time scales longer than the duration of a typical NSF research grant. These projects should address major drivers and/or impacts of system change and generate data intended for wider use by the scientific research community in understanding the changing Arctic system. Data included in this submission support the documentation of ocean properties advected from the Pacific into the Chukchi and Beaufort Sea region.
