Underway and bottle oxygen data collected on the Sikuliaq Research Vessel, Bering and Chukchi Seas, Alaska, 2016
The data archived here were collected during a 2016 research cruise on the Research Vessel Sikuliaq (SKQ201612S). The cruise departed Nome September 3, 2016 and returned Sept 25, 2016. CTD stations were occupied throughout the Northeast Chukchi and Western Beaufort. We occupied some Distributed Biol...

The data archived here were collected during a 2016 research cruise on the Research Vessel Sikuliaq (SKQ201612S). The cruise departed Nome September 3, 2016 and returned Sept 25, 2016. CTD stations were occupied throughout the Northeast Chukchi and Western Beaufort. We occupied some Distributed Biological Observatory (DBO) stations as part of this work, including DBO4, DBO5, and DBO6. Satellite measurements have documented significant reductions in sea ice cover, thickness, and duration throughout the Arctic Ocean in recent decades. Because of the complex interactions and feedbacks among physical, biogeochemical and ecological processes in the Arctic, there is significant uncertainty regarding how these changes in sea ice will impact the marine biological pump, which fuels the rich bottom communities on Arctic ocean shelves and is key to the regional carbon cycle. While responses of the biological pump to increased light availability in spring are currently being pursued, a considerable gap in knowledge exists regarding biological processes in the late summer and early fall.
