Physical, chemical, biological, geophysical, and meteorological data collected in the Arctic Ocean and Chukchi Sea in support of the Chukchi Sea Environmental Studies Program (CSESP) from 2007 to 2014 (NODC Accession 0124308)

This data set was collected as part of the Chukchi Sea Environmental Studies Program (CSESP), a multi-year, interdisciplinary ecological study focused on areas in outer continental shelf oil and gas leases in the northeastern Chukchi Sea. In 2008 when the program began, two 30 x 30 nautical mile study area boxes were developed around areas of interest to ConocoPhillips and Shell. The ConocoPhillips study area (named Klondike), and the Shell study area (named Burger) became the focus of data collection. Data were collected from these two study areas again in 2009. Then, in 2010, Statoil joined the program, and a third study area, Statoil, was created and sampled as well as Klondike and Burger. In 2011, the scope of the study area was expanded to include the Hanna Shoal Regional Study Area. The CSESP interdisciplinary studies include acoustic monitoring, baseline chemistry, benthic ecology, chemical oceanography, fisheries ecology, marine mammal ecology, physical oceanography, plankton ecology and nutrients, and seabird ecology data in Comma Separated Value formatted files.

本数据集采集自楚科奇海环境研究计划（Chukchi Sea Environmental Studies Program, CSESP），该项目为一项为期多年的跨学科生态研究，聚焦楚科奇海东北部外大陆架油气租赁区块。2008年项目启动之初，研究团队围绕康菲石油（ConocoPhillips）与壳牌（Shell）关注的海域，划定了两块30×30海里的研究区块。其中康菲石油的研究区命名为“克朗代克（Klondike）”，壳牌的研究区命名为“伯格（Burger）”，二者成为数据采集的核心区域。2009年，研究团队再次对这两处研究区块开展数据采集工作。2010年，挪威国家石油公司（Statoil）加入该项目，新增第三个研究区“斯塔托伊尔（Statoil）”，并与克朗代克、伯格两区同步开展采样作业。2011年，研究区域范围进一步拓展，纳入汉娜浅滩区域研究区（Hanna Shoal Regional Study Area）。CSESP的跨学科研究涵盖声学监测、基线化学、底栖生态学、化学海洋学、渔业生态学、海洋哺乳动物生态学、物理海洋学、浮游生物生态学与营养盐、海鸟生态学等多个领域，相关数据以逗号分隔值（Comma Separated Value, CSV）格式文件存储。
