Water temperature, salinity, and others taken by CTD, ADCP, and other instrumentation from research vessel icebreaker Xue Long in the North Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea, and Arctic Ocean from 2016-07-11 to 2016-09-26 (NCEI Accession 0221192)

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, and others taken by CTD, ADCP, and other instrumentation from research vessel icebreaker Xue Long in the North Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea, and Arctic Ocean. The 7th Chinese Arctic Research Expedition targets on the global climate change and the correlations of sea ice variation, as well as its effects on the environment and ecosystem in Arctic Ocean. The major studies are focused on physical oceanography, marine chemistry, marine geology and marine ecology. The objectives of the studies are: 1) Investigation of primary path of pacific waters and land-derived fresh waters input to Canada Basin; 2) Observation on marine chemical parameters in Arctic Ocean and the influences on cycling of biogeochemistry. 3) Identification of plankton species and bio-diversity in Arctic area. The cruise was carried out during 11 July to 26 September, 2016. The field work in the U.S. EEZ was a part of this cruise. During the field work in the U.S. EEZ, observations/measurements of physical oceanography, meteorology, marine chemistry, marine Biology and marine geology are occupied in the Bering Sea and the Chukchi Sea.

These data are part of the World Data Service for Oceanography and U.S State Department Marine Research dataset U2016-024.

Data are in XLSX, HEX, binary formats. XLSX were converted into CSV.
