Water temperature, salinity, oxygen, and other parameters taken by CTD from the fishing vessel Aquila (cruise AQ14-01, legs 1 and 2) from 2014-09-23 to 2014-10-19 (NCEI Accession 0279817)

This CTD data set, consisting of 86 casts, was collected in the Chukchi Sea cruise from the F/V Aquila (AQ14-01, September 23 - October 19, 2014). The cruise was funded by U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) through the NOAA National Marine Mammal Laboratory. It was conducted for CHukchi Acoustic, Oceanographic, and Zooplankton (CHAOZ) and Arctic Whale Ecology Study (ARCWEST) Projects. CTD operations on this cruise were managed by EcoFOCI personnel from NOAA/PMEL. Profile data from CTD instruments were processed at NOAA/PMEL/EcoFOCI using standard techniques. Data from bottle samples include phosphate, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, and chlorophyll. Discrete chlorophyll (bottle sample) data are submitted separately through NOAA/AFSC, Jeffrey M. Napp. Discrete nutrient (bottle sample) data are submitted separately through NOAA/PMEL, Calvin Mordy. Profile data are averaged to a 1-meter grid, with missing data listed as 1e+35. CTD data contact: Phyllis Stabeno, Peggy Sullivan, Shaun Bell. Cruise was conducted and funded by NOAA's National Marine Mammal Laboratory (NMML), Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC), Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), and Ecosystems & Fisheries-Oceanography (EcoFOCI, a joint research program between AFSC and PMEL). Users should note that station longitude is in DEG_WEST in the data files. Data are in NetCDF.
