Currents, Temperature, Salinity, and Sea Ice measurements from moorings in Barrow Canyon, Chukchi Sea, 2010-2015 (NCEI Accession 0160090)
From August 2010 โ September 2012, six moorings (BC1 inshore to BC6 offshore), spaced ~13 km apart, spanned the head of Barrow Canyon, Chukchi Sea, Alaska. Each mooring contained an upward looking 300 or 600 kHz Teledyne ADCP and a temperature/conductivity/pressure (T/C/P) recorder (Seabird SBE-37 or SBE-19). Moorings BC-2 through BC-5 included bottom tracking for measuring ice keel depths and ice drift. Bottom-tracking was inactive on BC-1 and BC-6 because these included directional wave firmware. The T/C/P and ADCP were housed in a float situated ~4 m above bottom. BC1, the mooring nearest to the coast, was deployed in a water depth of 31 m with its instruments mounted 1-m above the bottom in a SeaSpider frame. The compact mooring design minimized damage from nearshore ice keels that can exceed 25 m depth. After recovering the array in 2012, we deployed a single mooring (BC2) in 3 succeeding years.

Purpose | This data set was collected as one component of a project designed to provide an improved understanding of the physical oceanography of the northeastern Chukchi shelf and exchanges between the northeastern Chukchi and western Beaufort shelves and the adjacent basin. The program used high-frequency, shore-based, surface current mapping radars (HFR), autonomous underwater vehicles (gliders), satellite-tracked drifters, year-round moored oceanographic instruments, meteorological buoys, and hydrographic data from shipboard measurements to measure the time-varying surface and sub-surface circulation and hydrography of the northeastern Chukchi and western Beaufort shelves and shelfbreak. In aggregate, the results can be used to guide the development and evaluation of oil spill trajectory models and provide insights on processes relevant to the functioning of the marine ecosystem. |
