Chukchi Sea Hydrographic (CTD) Data from the R.V. Alpha Helix Cruise,
September 1996
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS011

Summary
In an international collaborative effort, Japanese, Russian, and U.S.
scientists collected hydrographic Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD)
samples in the Chukchi Sea north of the Bering Strait during the R.V. Alpha
Helix cruise between 31 August and 27 September 1996. The CTD data were
converted from the format used by the Institute for Marine Studies, University
of Alaska Fairbanks, to standard Sea-Bird format. The data collection contains
values for water depth, pressure, temperature, potential temperature,
conductivity, salinity, sigma-t, sigma-theta, fluorescence, transmissometer
output, oxygen probe O2 concentrations, geopotential anomaly, dynamic height,
specific volume anomaly, and buoyancy.
