This dataset contains temperature and salinity data collected in the Chukchi Sea during the 5-20 October, 2020 collaborative ecosystem research cruise on R/V Norseman II. The dataset consists of bottle and CTD data. The goal of the fall DBO cruise on the Norseman II was to evaluate ecosystem status and change at the Distributed Biological Observatory (DBO) time series sites, to deploy a mooring and sediment trap at the M8 site in the northern Bering Sea (DBO1 region), and to turn around the Chukchi Ecosystem Observatory (CEO) mooring array in the NE Chukchi Sea (DBO4 region). The DBO fall cruise was a consortium of funded projects from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the North Pacific Research Board (NPRB), National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP), Arctic Marine Biodiversity Observing Network (AMBON), and Alaska Ocean Observing System (AOOS), focused on benthic sampling as well as water column measurements. The cruise departed from Nome, Alaska with a limited scientific team ...
