The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | ChukSA Climatology, Version 1.0: Ocean velocity profiles collected by ADCP in the Chukchi Sea, Bering Strait, and Bering Sea in 2002-2022 (NCEI Accession 0283043) |
| Abstract: | The ChukSA climatology is comprised of shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler (SADCP) ocean velocity datasets collected by research vessels while working in, or transiting through, the Chukchi Sea region. SADCP datasets included in the climatology have received high- level post-processing, including manual editing and removal of estimated barotropic tides, and have been combined into a unique dataset of direct ocean velocity measurements. As of early 2023, ChukSA includes 95 datasets from 57 cruises by six ships spanning 16 years since 2002. To create the ChukSA climatology, the creators searched for SADCP datasets with cruise tracks that fell within the specified region of 65°-75° N and 170°-150° W. This was done by contacting colleagues and researchers who regularly work in the Chukchi region and by reaching out to the UNOLS Rolling Deck Repository (R2R) team, which archives cruise metadata and data from research vessels, to collect SADCP datasets from research missions as well as transits. Please see below for the original dataset citations and acknowledgements. The original datasets identified were retrieved in a variety of formats (from varying SADCP systems/manufacturers), with a wide range of post-processing completed. Frank Bahr (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) reviewed each dataset identified and assessed the need for post-processing. When necessary, appropriate post-processing methods were applied to datasets to ensure that all entries in the climatology were appropriate for climatological analysis. Post-processing methods are summarized in 'ChukSA_readme_final.pdf', with extensive details for each dataset available in a separate document titled ‘ChukSA_Appendix_A.pdf’. Final velocity measurements included in ChukSA are high quality and ready for use by the community. Data are in NetCDF. |
