Physical and Chemical Properties from Selected Expeditions in the Arctic Ocean
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS077

Summary
This dataset contains Physical and Chemical Properties from Selected
Expeditions in the Arctic Ocean. This data collection includes measurements of
temperature, salinity, conductivity, pH, and concentrations of silicate,
oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, and phosphorus in the Arctic Ocean. The data were
collected sporadically since 1950, from icebreakers, research vessels, and ice
camps using traditional wire casts, Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD)
casts, and CTD/rosette casts. Also included are positional data and, for some
expeditions, derived measurements of oxygen, nutrients, and alkalinity. The
data are in NODC .SD2 and .F022 formats. The purpose of this data collection
is to preserve and distribute physical and chemical data from the Arctic Ocean
that have been gathered through a cooperative international effort involving
the United States, Canada, Germany, Sweden, and Russia.
