Physical, chemical, and biological data from lagoons and open coastal waters in the nearshore environment of the eastern Alaska Beaufort Sea, 2011-2013

Data from discrete water samples, benthic grabs and trawls, plankton tows, and in-situ sensors were collected along the eastern Alaska Beaufort Sea coast, between the Hulahula River delta (144.190 degrees West) and Demarcation Bay (141.267 degrees West) were collected between 2011 and 2013.

Description
Summary:Data from discrete water samples, benthic grabs and trawls, plankton tows, and in-situ sensors were collected along the eastern Alaska Beaufort Sea coast, between the Hulahula River delta (144.190 degrees West) and Demarcation Bay (141.267 degrees West) were collected between 2011 and 2013. The first sampling trip was conducted in August 2011. Samples were collected during April (through ice), late June early July (during ice break-up), and August (open water) in 2012 and 2013. HOBO data loggers for temperature and salinity were deployed during the August 2011 trip and recorded ~2.5 years of continuous data over the course of the project. Samples/data were collected at six lagoon sites (Kaktovik Lagoon, Jago Lagoon, Tapkaruk Lagoon, Angun Lagoon, Nuvagapak Lagoon, and Demarcation Bay), and four open water sites along the coastline (Hulahula, Bernard Point Dew Line, Bernard Spit, and Demarcation Point). Separate excel spreadsheets are provided for discrete water samples, biota stable isotope values, YSI sonde measurements, and HOBO data loggers. A "Metadata" tab is included in each spreadsheet with details about the specific datasets that that they contain.
