| Summary: | Data are available from the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI): https://data.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/iso?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0210805 https://data.nodc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/iso?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0210804 This is an archive of data from moorings deployed in Bering Strait from summer 2018 to summer 2019. Mooring deployments were funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) -Arctic Observing Network award PLR-1758565 (PIs: Woodgate and Peralta-Ferriz). The mooring work required 2 dedicated cruises: - in 2018 (10th - 19th August), a ~ 10 day cruise on the United States (US) vessel Norseman2 deployed the moorings. Some conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) sections were run on this cruise, and those data are archived separately. - in 2019 (5th - 15th September), a ~ 11 day cruise on the US vessel For 2018 to 2019, a total of three moorings were deployed: - two moorings (A2 and A4) in the US channel of the strait, - one mooring (A3) at a site just north of the strait.
