This submission contains data collected as a part of the 2003-2004 Beaufort shelf-edge mooring array, a component of the western Arctic Shelf-Basin Interactions (SBI Phase II) experiment. SBI was a multi-year field program, jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Office of Naval Research, designed to investigate the manner in which the continental shelves communicate with the interior Arctic basin. This submission contains data from the BS3 (Beaufort shelf-edge) mooring site, which has collected a consistent and detailed timeseries of physical oceanographic observations beginning in 2002 until present. Funding for this long-term data collection has been supported by the NSF Arctic Observing Network.
