CTD profile data (91 casts) were collected in the northern Bering, Chukchi, Beaufort Seas, and Arctic Ocean from the Research Vessel Ocean Starr (OS1901 Legs 1,2,3), August 6 to September 27, 2019. The research cruise was part of the Arctic Integrated Ecosystem Survey (Arctic IES) funded as part of the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB) Arctic Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (Arctic IERP). The program and research on this expedition were sponsored by NPRB and the Bureau of Ocean and Energy Management (BOEM), with in-kind support by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA, PMEL and AFSC). These data contribute to understanding how reductions in Arctic sea ice and associated changes in the physical environment influence the flow of energy through the ecosystems of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. The physical data are part of a wider range of data collected towards this effort. This year’s survey was notable in that there was no sea ice within the survey region from 72.5N in the Chukchi Sea into the nearshore regions of the Beaufort Sea and south to the Bering Strait. Ice was present in the northern regions of our survey area during surveys that occurred in 2012 and 2013. Additionally, sea surface temperatures were warmer than previous years ranging from 5.3°C (42°F) to 10.9°C (52°F); the coldest sea surface temperatures were found at the offshore Chukchi Slope stations, with the warmest found inshore between Icy Cape and Ledyard Bay. CTD data and water samples were collected by NOAA, PMEL Ecosystems & Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (EcoFOCI). Variables include dual temperatures (°C), dual salinity, chlorophyll fluorescence(ugrams/l), Photosynthetic Active Radiation (PAR, uEin m-2 s-1), oxygen concentration (umol/kg), and calculated values Sigma-T (kg m-3) and oxygen percent saturation (percent) This data set contains 1-meter-averaged water-column profile data. Profile data from CTD instruments were processed at NOAA/PMEL/EcoFOCI using standard techniques. CTD data contacts: Phyllis Stabeno, Ryan McCabe, Calvin Mordy, Peggy Sullivan, Shaun Bell.

Purpose	The objective of this study and data collection is to understand how reductions in Arctic sea ice and associated changes in the physical environment influence the flow of energy through the ecosystems of the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. The larger study included two research expeditions in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas during late summer and early fall 2017 (os17-01, August-October, 2019) and 2019 (os1901). The surveys take measurements of the: 1) physical environment (temperature, salinity, nutrients); 2) seasonal composition, distribution and production of phytoplankton; 3) distribution and standing stocks of zooplankton; 4) assemblages, distributions, abundances, size, diet, and fitness of larval, early juvenile, and adult fishes; and 5) distribution and relative abundances of seabirds and marine mammals. This subset of Arctic IES measurements are intended to quantify the physical environments. Year-round biophysical moorings will provide temporal context for these measurements as well as for fish movement and marine mammal calls.
