Water temperature, salinity, chlorophyll fluorescence, oxygen and others taken by CTD from the fishing vessel Bristol Explorer, cruise be1201, in the Bering and Chukchi Seas from 2012-08-06 to 2012-09-27 (NCEI Accession 0290264)

CTD profile data (109 casts) were collected in the northeast Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea from the Fishing Vessel Bristol Explorer (cruise BE1201) during a pelagic fish survey (Arctic EIS), August 6 to September 27, 2019. CTD casts occurred along a previously-defined trawl survey station grid with stations ~30nm apart. Northern Bering Sea stations were between 60°N and Bering Strait; Chukchi stations sat between the Bering Strait and 72.5°N.

Profile data and water samples were collected by NOAA, AFSC as a part of the Ecosystems & Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (EcoFOCI) program in collaboration with Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL). Profile variables include dual temperatures (°C), dual salinity, chlorophyll fluorescence(ugrams/l), oxygen concentration (umol/kg), transmission (percent), and calculated values Sigma-T (kg m-3) and oxygen percent saturation (percent). This data set contains 1-meter-averaged water-column profile data. Profile data from CTD instruments were processed at NOAA/PMEL/EcoFOCI using standard techniques. Null values are represented as 1.00E+35. CTD data contacts: Phyllis Stabeno, Calvin Mordy, Peggy Sullivan, Shaun Bell.

Scientists from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC); Auke Bay Laboratories Ecosystem Monitoring and Assessment (EMA); Arctic Ecosystem Integrated Survey (Arctic Eis); Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) ; Ecosystems and Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (EcoFOCI); University of Washington, Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean and Ecosystem Studies participated in the cruise. Data are in NetCDF.
