Dataset Overview | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI)

Water temperature, conductivity, and other data taken using CTD and Niskin bottles from research vessel Norseman II for the Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) Program in the Chukchi Sea from 2015-08-10 to 2015-09-03 (NCEI Accession 0229073)

Preview graphic

This dataset contains water temperature, conductivity, and others taken by CTD and Niskin bottles in the Chukchi Sea during the 10 August - 3 September 2015 Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) research cruise. The data provides information on important Arctic Chukchi Sea ecosystem parameters, including temperature, salinity, pressure, and fluorescence as an index of phytoplankton biomass. In aggregate these variables are basic descriptors of the water masses entering the Chukchi Sea from the Pacific through Bering Strait.

The compiled directory consists of three files.

- AMBON2015_CTDprofiles.ascii (also in csv and netcdf)
- AMBON2015.hdr
- AMBON2015_ctdBottleData_L2_v1.csv

The first file is an ASCII file consisting of Seabird SBE55 CTD measurements from the depths at which the Niskin bottles were tripped; the file is intended to complement the file named 'AMBON 2015 bottle file new- Nutrients_chlorophyll bottle file.csv' in the Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON): Water column and benthic processes project (Cooper and Grebmeier).

The second file is a ASCII file consisting of Seabird SBE55 Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) header information (named AMBON2015.hdr); the file accompanies the main CTD data file. The dataset describes each CTD cast number, location, bottom depth and other ancillary information.

The third file is a ASCII file consisting of Seabird SBE55 Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) downcast data (AMBON2015_ctdBottleData_L2_v1.csv). Data were post calibrated and adjusted to bottled samples.

Data are in ASCII, CSV, and NetCDF.

Purpose	The goal of the Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON) project is to demonstrate and build an operational marine biodiversity observing network from microbes to whales, integrating diversity levels from genetic to organismal. AMBON is funded through the National Ocean Partnership Program, with contributions from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management (BOEM), Shell Exploration and Production Company, and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The AMBON field region is located on the Chukchi Sea continental shelf in the US Arctic as a region exposed to climatic changes and anthropogenic influences. AMBON is composed of a team of multi-institutional and multi-sector partners active in a variety of Arctic biodiversity observing programs and covering disciplines ranging from genetic to organismal to ecosystem. This project aims to characterize the hydrographic conditions of water entering the Chukchi Sea from the Pacific through Bering Strait by measuring ecosystem parameters using a Seabird SBE55 CTD. This information provides a reference dataset for evaluating hypotheses that seek mechanistic descriptions of the regional ocean environment and ecosystem.

Typical processing includes data conversion, filtering, aligning temperature and conductivity samples, making thermal mass corrections and loop editing to clean records that exhibit significant vessel heave..
Parameter or Variable: pressure (measured); Units: dbar; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: CTD; Sampling and Analyzing Method: CTD data were processed following SeaBird, Inc. recommended procedures for processing all CTD data as documented in the SeaBird Inc. SBE Data Processing users manual. Reference listed below. Data were subject to additional screening on a profile-by-profile basis to identify anomalous features. Final data were binned to 1-dbar pressure levels and plotted on T-S diagrams and transect cross-sections. Data can be interpreted with respect to the seasonal evolution of remotely sensed sea ice conditions, atmospheric observations, and other available CTD or moored oceanographic data.
