Discrete samples were collected on research cruise ID NRS2022 (-01T, -01S, -02S) between July 12, 2022 and September 5, 2022, and analyzed for oxygen/argon ratios and triple oxygen isotopes. Samples were collected intermittently from the underway seawater supply throughout the cruise, which departed from Homer, Alaska (AK) and sampled waters of the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas, ending in Nome, AK. Samples were also collected at various depths from a selection of conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) casts during the second leg of the cruise (NRS2022_02S). The measurements here contribute to characterizing both the chemical environment and the rates of net and gross biological oxygen production in the Pacific-influenced Arctic. ...
