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.本提交数据集源自2004年波弗特陆缘科考航次的采集成果，该航次是西北极陆架-盆地相互作用（Shelf-Basin Interactions，缩写SBI）第二阶段实验的组成部分。SBI是由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation，缩写NSF）与美国海军研究办公室联合资助的多年野外考察计划，旨在探究大陆架与北极内陆盆地之间的物质与能量交换机制。本提交包含2004年科考航次的相关数据，该航次与2002年至今开展的其他科考任务协同采集了一套连续且详实的物理海洋观测时间序列。本次长期数据采集工作的资助方为美国国家科学基金会北极观测网络（Arctic Observing Network）。
