Abstract:

This data set was collected as part of the Chukchi Sea Environmental Studies Program (CSESP), a multi-year, interdisciplinary ecological study focused on areas in outer continental shelf oil and gas leases in the northeastern Chukchi Sea. In 2008 when the program began, two 30 x 30 nautical mile study area boxes were developed around areas of interest to ConocoPhillips and Shell. The ConocoPhillips study area (named Klondike), and the Shell study area (named Burger) became the focus of data collection. Data were collected from these two study areas again in 2009. Then, in 2010, Statoil joined the program, and a third study area, Statoil, was created and sampled as well as Klondike and Burger.
The CSESP interdisciplinary studies include acoustic monitoring, baseline chemistry, benthic ecology, chemical oceanography, fisheries ecology, marine mammal ecology, physical oceanography, plankton ecology and nutrients, and seabird ecology.
This data set contains the results of the chemical characterization analyses of samples gathered in the northeastern Chukchi Sea during the open water season of 2008 and 2009. Data parameters include the sample ID; the cruise the sample was collected on; the station where the sample was collected; whether or not the sample was a replicate; the type of sample, the unique ID assigned in the lab; the latitude and longitude of the location the sample was collected; the local date and time of sample collection, extraction, and analysis; the analytical instrument and method used; the sample delivery group ID; the percentage of moisture and lipids in the sample; the sample matrix; the size of the sample; the units of measurement used; the name and concentration of the chemical compound or element found in the sample; lab data quality control information; the name of the contractor who recorded and analyzed the data; the title of the annual report the data set supports; and any additional notes concerning the sample. Related data sets entitled Amphipod Sample Collection, NE Chukchi Sea, 2008; Non-Amphipod Sample Collection, NE Chukchi Sea, 2008; Fish capture in the NE Chukchi Sea, 2009-2010; Sediment Core Sample Collection, NE Chukchi Sea, 2008; and Surface Sediment Sample Collection, NE Chukchi Sea, 2008 contain sample collection information.

Purpose:

The objectives of the Chukchi Sea Environmental Baseline Studies Program are: 1. To provide data for pre-exploration and development-related activities 2. To provide data for permit applications 3. To provide input to planning of future operations and associated mitigation 4. To provide additional baseline data that can be used to assess and measure the potential environmental effects of offshore oil and gas exploration and development in the northeastern Chukchi Sea

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

CSESP Attribute Accuracy Overview When the program began in 2008, scientists collected and stored their data through a variety of methods. Vessel data were collected by individual software packages and backed up as part of the regular computer backups, which may or may not have coincided with backups conducted by the scientists. Each scientist had his or her own method for recording and storing at sea observations and data; some of these methods included paper copies.
The TigerSoft application was developed in 2009 to better manage all scientific data collected through the CSESP. TigerSoft consists of three components: TigerObserver, TigerNav, and TigerObserver Server. Under the oversight of a data manager, these three programs worked in concert with predetermined scientific data protocols to integrate scientific observations with vessel navigation to produce standardized data sets. Data sets were backed up regularly and made available to scientists to proof and edit on a nightly basis during the cruises. TigerSoft was used each season for data collection since it's inception in 2009.
After the conclusion of each field season, data managers merged the TigerSoft daily observation databases of each discipline and distributed the data in Excel spreadsheet format to the primary investigators of each discipline. Primary investigators reviewed their data and signed forms acknowledging the completeness and accuracy of the data. If corrections needed to be made to the data, detailed information regarding the corrections and an edited copy of the data was returned to the data manager. Examples of corrections include updated species identification and deletion of an observation event that was made in error.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Each year the primary investigators spent approximately nine months analyzing their data and then produced a discipline specific annual report for CSESP and a final data set. The final data had to adhere to a predetermined data protocol and pass through a data validation tool in order to be accepted by the data manager. Data that did not pass validation were returned to the primary investigators to be corrected and resubmitted for validation.

Completeness_Report:

2009 and 2010 The TigerNav component of TigerSoft failed several times during the 2009 and 2010 field season which resulted in missing positional and navigational information for observations made while the system was down. When possible, the latitude and longitude were populated after the fact by matching the time stamp of the observation to that of the vessel gps system. Some latitude and longitude values could not be populated after the fact.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

In 2009 and 2010, latitude and longitude values were obtained through a Hemisphere VS100 Heading and Positioning Receiver. The horizontal accuracy of the instrument was +/- 0.6 meters.
