Water temperature, salinity, nutrients, velocity, and others taken by CTD, ADCP and other instrumentation from research vessel icebreaker Xuelong in the North Pacific Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Bering Sea from 2014-07-22 to 2014-08-04 (NCEI Accession 0221081)

This dataset contains water temperature, salinity, nutrients, velocity, and others taken by CTD, ADCP and other instrumentation from research vessel icebreaker Xuelong in the North Pacific Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and Bering Sea from 2014-07-22 to 2014-08-04. The objectives of The 6th Chinese National Arctic Scientific Research Expedition were to improve understanding of basic environmental information of marine hydrology in high latitude areas. The China Arctic Expedition of 2014 (Chinare 2014) campaign was designed to provide basic information for global climate change research. The main work was undertaken through sectional observations of the above mentioned sea areas. During the 6th Chinese National Arctic Research Expedition, about 14 days (2014.7.22—2014.8.4) had been taken to investigate the marine physical, chemical oceanography and biological ecology, as well as marine geology. Different parameters had been observed, including 53 CTD sites, 53 LADCP sites, 12 Chlorophyll sites, 19 Zooplankton sites and 22 Nutrients sites. Besides, 16 sedimentary cores or surface sediments had been collected.

These data are submitted as part of the World Data Service for Oceanography, Marine Research data U2014-022.

Data are in text, XLS, and binary formats.
