Water temperature, conductivity, and others taken by CTD and Niskin bottles from the research vessel Norseman II Data for Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network, AMBON, Program in the Chukchi Sea from 2017-08-07 to 2017-08-22 (NCEI Accession 0229072)

The dataset consists of bottle samples and CTD data. 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 the Bering Strait. The dataset consists of three files. - AMBON2017_CTDprofiles.ascii (also in csv and netcdf) - AMBON2017.hdr - AMBON2017_ctdBottleData_L2_v1.csv The first file is a ASCII file consisting of Seabird SBE55 CTD measurements from the depths at which the Niskin bottles were tripped; the file is intended to compliment the file named 'AMBON 2017 bottle file new- Nutrients_chlorophyll bottle file.csv' in the Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON): Water column and benthic processes project (Cooper and Grebmier).
