Temperature, salinity, and dye concentration from CTD, gliders and other instruments as well as drifter velocity collected in the Chukchi Sea, Beaufort Sea and other locations for the Arctic Tracer Release Experiment (ARCTREX) and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) from 2014-09-09 to 2016-01-20 (NCEI Accession 0168859)
The goal of the Arctic Tracer Release Experiment (ARCTREX) was to simulate a small oil spill in the Chukchi Sea in order to test the ability of currently available observational technologies and web-based GIS tools to provide real time data and maps to response agencies. We performed a series of Rhodamine dye release experiments during two time periods, from 2014-09-09 to 2014-09-17 and from 2015-09-06 to 2015-09-10, and sampled the resulting plumes with satellite-tracked surface drifters, AUV gliders, an Acrobat towed vehicle, extended-range high frequency radar, ship's TSG, and a VMP-250 vertical microstructure profiler. Data was ingested into NOAA's Environmental Response Management Application ERMA (Arctic ERMA) in near real time for inclusion in their web-based mapping tool. Due to inclusion of drifters that drifted out of the main experimental location, the actual spatial and temporal data spans exceed the spatial (-163E : -159.5E; 70.25N : 71.75N) and temporal (from 2014-09-09 to 2015-09-10) of the main experiment. Data are in various text formats.
