HLY-08-03 CTD Data [Stabeno, P.]

This Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) data set, consisting of 210 casts, was collected during a multi-disciplinary Bering Sea ice cruise on the US Coast Guard Cutter Healy (HL0803, July 3-31, 2008). The cruise was funded by NSF for the Bering Sea Ecosystem Study-Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (BEST-BSIERP), and supported by numerous agencies and institutions. BEST-BSIERP together are the Bering Sea project. The CTD operations on this cruise were managed by personnel from NOAA/PMEL in the EcoFOCI program, with technical expertise from SCRIPPS, and deployment assistance from Healy personnel. Water samples from casts were collected by various parties relative to their research needs. 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. Data files are an array on a 1-meter grid and combine both averaged CTD profile data, and bottle samples where depths with no data are listed as "-1E+10". CTD data contact people: Phyllis Stabeno, Peggy Sullivan. Nutrient and bottle data contact: Calvin Mordy. The data have been updated as of 21 March 2011.
