This dataset contains nutrient, chlorophyll, oxygen, and others taken by CTD water samples from the USCGC Healy, cruise HE1702, in the Bering and Chukchi Seas, and the Arctic Ocean. Discrete water samples from 141 CTD casts were collected in the Chukchi Sea from US Coast Guard Cutter Healy (HE1702, August 26 to September 15, 2017) as part of the 2017 Distributed Biological Observatory – Northern Chukchi Integrated Study (DBO-NCIS). The goal of DBO-NCIS was to document and understand ongoing changes to the Pacific-Arctic ecosystem in light of the changing physical drivers. Sampling and transects on this research cruise were along standard DBO lines in areas 1, 3, 4 and 5.

Nutrients and chlorophyll samples were collected at all process stations in support of benthic studies and net tows. A total of 410 nutrient samples were collected, filtered, and stored frozen at -80 degrees C. They were processed post-cruise at the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) for determination of nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, silicate and phosphate concentrations. Total chlorophyll was collected at 71 stations at standard depths of surface, 10 m, 20 m, 30 m, 40 m, and 50 m or bottom depth when stations were shallower than any standard depth. Samples were filtered through GF/F glass fiber filters under low vacuum, and the filters were stored frozen at -80 degrees C. Samples were analyzed at NOAA/PMEL. For calibration of the CTD oxygen probe, 48 samples were samples collected for dissolved oxygen. See data type descriptions for more processing details. Data have been submitted in csv format with a 1-line header defining columns. Related profile data from CTD instruments were processed and are available at WHOI.

Purpose Data were collected as part of the 2017 Distributed Biological Observatory – Northern Chukchi Integrated Study (DBO-NCIS). The goal of DBO-NCIS was to document and understand ongoing changes to the Pacific-Arctic ecosystem in light of the changing physical drivers. The main objectives for the 2017 cruise were (1) to occupy DBO lines 3-5 in the Chukchi Sea with an extensive suite of water column and benthic measurements; and (2) to carry out a process study of the northeastern Chukchi shelf designed to understand the physical-biological links that result in the biological hot spots in this region.

  • Parameter or Variable: Dissolved Oxygen Concentration (measured); Units: micromole/liter; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: Niskin bottle; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Water samples were collected from Niskin bottles mounted on a CTD rosette. At each CTD location, Niskin bottles were fired at desired depths on the upcast to collect water samples to measure dissolved oxygen concentration for oxygen sensor calibration. The samples were fixed with Winkler reagents, and the flare of each oxygen flask was filled with distilled water and sealed. Samples were processed using technique defined by C. Langdon in “Determination of dissolved oxygen in seawater by Winkler titration using the amperometric technique”, an article within the GO-SHIP Repeat Hydrography Manual (Hood, E.M., Sabine, C.L. and Sloyan, B.M.

  • Parameter or Variable: CHLOROPHYLL A CONCENTRATION (measured); Units: microgram/liter; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: Niskin bottle; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Water samples were collected from Niskin bottles mounted on a CTD rosette. At each CTD location, Niskin bottles were fired at desired depths on the upcast to collect water. Samples were collected at similar depths as nutrients towards estimation of total chlorophyll a and phaeopigments. Sample water was filtered through Whatman GF/F filters (nominal pore size 0.7 mm). Filters were stored frozen (-80 C) and shipped back to the lab at PMEL and analyzed with a Turner Designs (Trilogy) benchtop fluorometer using the chlorophyll a acidification module, and following standard methods (acidification technique, Parsons, T.R., Maita, Y., Lalli, C.M., 1984.

  • Parameter or Variable: phosphate concentration (measured); Units: micromole/liter; Observation Category: in situ; Sampling Instrument: Niskin bottle; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Nutrient water samples were collected from Niskin bottles mounted on a CTD rosette. At each CTD location, Niskin bottles were fired at desired depths on the upcast to collect water.
