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: CTD profile data (91 casts): water temperature, salinity, chlorophyll fluorescence, oxygen, PAR. NOAA PMEL, EcoFOCI. 2019-08-06 to 2019-09-27, F/V Ocean Starr research cruise (OS1901, legs 1,2,3). (NCEI Accession 0290074)
Abstract: CTD profile data (91 casts) were collected in the northern Bering, Chukchi and Beaufort Seas from the Fishing 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.
