This submission contains data collected as a part of the 2018 Beaufort shelf-edge research cruise titled Monitoring the Western Arctic Boundary Current in a Warming Climate: Atmospheric Forcing and Oceanographic Response, funded by National Science Foundation (NSF). This experiment was a multi-year field program, jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation 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 2018 research cruise, which has collected a consistent and detailed timeseries of physical oceanographic observations together with other expeditions beginning in 2002 until present. Funding for this long-term data collection has been supported by the NSF Arctic Observing Network.
