This hydrographic dataset is a compilation of conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) profiles from the Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea continental shelves over 1922-2018. Profiles are averaged by depth layer over a 1 degree latitude by 2 degree longitude grid on a monthly basis. Data sources and QA/QC procedures are as documented in Danielson et al.
