This Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) data set, consisting of 247 casts, was collected during a multi-disciplinary Bering Sea cruise on the UNOLS ship R/V Knorr (6n195j, 2009). The cruise was funded by NSF for the BEST (Bering Sea Ecosystem Study) program, and supported by numerous agencies and institutions. The CTD operations on this cruise were managed by personnel from NOAA/PMEL in the EcoFOCI program, and deployment assistance from Knorr personnel. Water samples from casts were collected by various parties relative to their research needs. Profile data from CTD instruments were processed at NOAA/PMEL/EcoFOCI using standard techniques. Data from bottle samples include phosphate, silicate, nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, and chlorophyll. Data files are an array on a 1-meter grid and combine both averaged CTD profile data, and bottle samples where depths with no data are listed as "-1E+10". CTD data contact people: Phyllis Stabeno, Peggy Sullivan. Nutrient and bottle data contact: Calvin Mordy. Data are available in two formats: netCDF, and Ocean Data View ASCII files. Note: Data have been updated as of 02 Oct 2013.
