Insitu, year-round data from subsurface moorings deployed in both channels of the Bering Strait from summer 2006 - summer 2007 (6 moorings). Moorings recorded lower layer water velocity, temperature and salinity ~ hourly. Some instruments also recorded fluorescence and turbidity. Two upward looking Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) (one in the western channel, one in the east of the eastern channel) recorded water velocity at different levels in the east of the channel and some measure of ice velocity and ice thickness. For full details, see Readme file below. Data are available via our website (Data Access link below) and from the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) (related data link below). The western (Russian) channel deployments were funded by the NOAA-RUSALCA (Russian American Long-Term Census of the Arctic) program, lead PI. T. Weingartner. The eastern (US) channel deployments were funded by the Alaskan Ocean Observing System (AOOS), PI. R. Woodgate. Related data sets include various conductivity, termperature and depth (CTD) data and other years of Bering Strait moorings, deployed almost continuously since 1990.
