CTD profile data (97 casts) were collected in the northeast Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea from the Fishing Vessel Bristol Explorer (cruise BE1301) during the Arctic Ecosystem Integrated Survey (Arctic EIS) pelagic fish survey, August 6 to September 27, 2013. CTD casts occurred at trawl survey stations and along transactions ~15 nm apart. Northern Bering Sea (NBS), stations were from 60°N and Bering Strait; Chukchi Sea stations sat between the Bering Strait and 72.5°N. The cruise was split into 3 legs, with leg 1 sampling in the southern Chukchi Sea, leg 2 in the northern Chukchi Sea and leg 3 in the NBS. Profile data and water samples were collected by NOAA, Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) as a part of the Ecosystems & Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (EcoFOCI) program in collaboration with the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL). Profile variables include temperature (°C), salinity, chlorophyll fluorescence (ugrams/l), oxygen concentration (umol/kg), transmission ...
