Ocean current velocity, and biophysical measurements, temperature, salinity, oxygen, turbidity, chlorophyll-a and other variables, taken by CTD during GOAA IERP by NOAA, PMEL, EcoFOCI 2013-02-01 to 2013-10-31, from 6 Southeast Alaska mooring locations at or near Cross Sound, Alaska (NCEI Accession 0292419)

These time-series datasets consist of Current Profiler (Teledyne ADCP and WCP, Aanderaa RCM-9) observations, and data from biophysical moorings at 6 locations in Southeast Alaska, near Cross Sound: CS1, CS2, CS3, and CS11 (ADCP and WCP locations); CS11 and CS13 (biophysical locations). Data were collected as part of the GOA IERP lower-trophic-level research effort, and include current speed and direction, calculated current components U and V, temperature, conductivity, salinity, pressure, water depth, oxygen concentration, calculated oxygen percent saturation, turbidity, raw chlorophyll fluorescence and chlorophyll a. Instrumentation included Aanderaa RCM-9 current meter, Teledyne RDI Workhorse Sentinel ADCP (WCP), Teledyne-RDI Long-Ranger 75khz ADCP (LRCP), SeaBird SBE-37 and SBE-30 profilers and WetLabs EcoFluorometers. The cruise was funded by NOAA, Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory EcoFOCI program and the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB). Instruments were deployed in January, 2013 and recovered at the end of October, 2013 from NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson (DY1301 and DY1309, leg 2, respectively). Deployment and recovery operations on this cruise were managed by EcoFOCI personnel from NOAA/PMEL. Mooring time series data were processed at NOAA/PMEL/EcoFOCI using standard techniques. Time is recorded as UTC. Data contacts: Phyllis Stabeno, Shaun Bell, Ryan McCabe, Peggy Sullivan. Data were taken 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); North Pacific Research Board (NPRB). Data are in NetCDF.
