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 2015-08-10 to 2015-09-03 (NCEI Accession 0229073)

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 Bering Strait.

The compiled directory consists of three files. - AMBON2015_CTDprofiles.ascii (also in csv and netcdf) - AMBON2015.hdr - AMBON2015_ctdBottleData_L2_v1.csv The first file is an 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 2015 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).
