These data files contain surface dissolved O2 concentration and dissolved O2/N2 saturation ratio for the Bering, Chukchi, and Beaufort Seas with relevant accompanying ancillary information. The data are useful for understanding the balance of physical and biological controls driving surface ocean dissolved O2 concentrations and for calculating net biological community production rates. The data were collected with funding from NSF Award 1928684 “High Resolution Observing of Arctic Net Community Productivity with Ships of Opportunity.” These data are being disseminated to the research community with limited processing; an updated version with enhanced data quality control may be available in the future. Please contact the PI, Laurie Juranek ([e-mail]) for questions about use. Data were collected between July 31st and December 3rd, 2022 from the surface underway seawater supply of R/V Sikuliaq on several cruises. Data were collected using a Pro-Oceanus miniTDGP (total dissolved gas ...
