| Summary: | These data are part of the ASGARD component of the Arctic Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (IERP), sponsored by the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB), Collaborative Alaskan Arctic Studies Program (formerly the North Slope Borough/Shell Baseline Studies Program), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), and the Office of Naval Research Marine Mammals and Biology Program. The goal of the Arctic IERP program is to better understand the mechanisms and processes that structure the Arctic marine ecosystem and influence the distribution, life history, and interactions of biological communities in the Chukchi Sea. NPRB is interested in research that addresses phenology and the alignment in space and time of primary production, secondary producers, and upper trophic level predators. More information on the Arctic IERP can be found here: www.nprb.org/arctic. This dataset is the raw oxygen values from sinking particle associated particulate material as measured on the ASGARD cruise in June 2018 on the Bering and Chukchi sea shelves. This was created using PreSens - Sensor Dish Reader Version 4 Software after performing incubations using a PreSens SDR SensorDish Reader.
