Water temperature, salinity, and others taken by CTD and other instrumentation in the Bering and Chukchi Seas from the research vessel icebreaker Xue Long during 2012-07-10 to 2012-09-11 (NCEI Accession 0286368)

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and suspended particulate matter taken by CTD, nets, and other instrumentation in the Bering and Chukchi Seas from the research vessel icebreaker Xue Long during the 5-th Chinese National Arctic Scientific Research Expedition (CHINARE5). The objectives of the CHINARE5 were to improve understanding of basic environmental information of marine hydrology in summer 2012 in areas of the Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea, Chukchi Sea Rise, and to provide basic information for global climate change research. The main work was undertaken through sectional observations of the aforementioned sea areas. Data are in CNV, XLSX formats. This dataset is U.S. State Department MSR U2012-020 as part of the World Data Services for Geophysics and Oceanography.
