This dataset includes discrete profile measurements of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and nutrients during NOAA Ship Miller Freeman cruise MF0904 (EXPOCODE 31FN20090924) in the Bering Sea from 2009-09-24 to 2009-10-13. The cruise was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) for the Bering Sea Ecosystem Study-Bering Sea Integrated Ecosystem Research Program (BEST-BSIERP) and supported by numerous agencies and institutions. The CTD operations on the cruise were managed by personnel from NOAA/PMEL in the Eco FOCI program, with technical expertise from Scripps Institution of Oceanography personnel, and deployment assistance from Healy personnel.

  • Parameter or Variable: CTD Temperature; Abbreviation: CTDTMP; Unit: degrees celcius; Observation type: CTD sensor; Sampling instrument: CTD; Analyzing instrument: CTD; Detailed sampling and analyzing information: A profiling CTD 911 was used to collect the conductivity, temperature, and depth data at each station. Data are processed using Seabird CTD software and calibration file. Post-processing at the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory includes filtering extreme outliers, extrapolation of values from the top value collected at ~3-5m to the surface. Each cast is visually reviewed for reasonableness and density inversions (greater than 0.02 sigma-t) caused by spurious measurements. This process is facilitated by comparison of the outputs of the 2 temperature and conductivity sensors. Profile data are bin-averaged to 1 meter.; Uncertainty: 0.001 DEG C; Quality flag convention: WOCE quality control flags are used: 2 = good value, 3 = questionable value, 4 = bad value; Researcher name: Phyllis J. Stabeno; Researcher institution: NOAA/PMEL.
