Water temperature, salinity, ADCP velocity, including ice tracking from Bering Strait moorings A2, A3, A4 from 2018-08-12 to 2019-09-07 (NCEI Accession 0210805)
This is an archive of water temperature, salinity, ADCP velocity, including ice tracking data from moorings deployed in Bering Strait from summer 2018 to summer 2019.
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 2018 (10th - 19th August), a ~ 10 day cruise on the US research vessel Norseman II deployed the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately.
- in 2019 (5th - 15th September), a ~ 11 day cruise on the US research vessel Norseman II deployed the moorings. Some CTD sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately.
For 2018 to 2019, 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.
In what follows, mooring names include a two digit suffix to represent year of deployment.
Sites A2, and A3 were established in 1990. A2 and A3 have been occupied almost continuously (all years except 96-97) since then. Site A4 was established in 2001. Mooring location A2 is in the middle of the eastern (Alaskan side) channel. Mooring location A3 is just north of the strait, immediately east of the Russian-US EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) line.
Experience has shown that site A3 samples both eastern and western channel water. Mooring location A4 is close to the Alaskan coast and allows measurement of the Alaskan Coastal Current.
Data are in text formats.
