Physical oceanographic mooring data (temperature, salinity, velocity including ADCP ice tracking) collected from Bering Strait Moorings A3, A4 in Bering Strait from 2021-07-10 to 2022-09-11 (NCEI Accession 0289551)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 26, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-02-23T00:00:00.000+00:00
This is an archive of data from moorings deployed in Bering Strait from 2021-07-10 to 2022-09-11. Mooring deployments were funded by the NSF-Arctic Observing Network award PLR-1758565 (PIs: Woodgate and Peralta-Ferriz). The mooring work required 2 dedicated cruises: - in 2021 (7th - 17th July), a ~ 11 day cruise on the US vessel Norseman2 deployed the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately. - in 2022 (8th-19th September), a ~ 12 day cruise on the US vessel Norseman2 recovered the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately. In 2021, a total of three moorings were deployed: - two moorings (A2 and A4) in the US channel of the strait, - one mooring (A3) at a site just north of the strait. Unfortunately, mooring A2 was lost. Moorings carry a variety of instruments, listed in the file "Bering_Strait_Moorings_2021-2022_NSFAON_ReadMe_versFeb2024.txt" included in this dataset.
