SHEBA Upper Ocean CTD and Thermal Microstructure, Western Arctic Ocean
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/106.ARCSS151

Summary
This data set includes Conductivity, Temperature, Depth (CTD) measurements
along with thermal microstructure data (such as, turbulent thermal variance,
turbulent kinetic energy, and vertical temperature gradient) collected from 12
October 1997 to 30 September 1998. The storage, redistribution, and ultimate
release of the energy contributed by incoming shortwave radiation has major
effects on the thickness and seasonal evolution of sea ice cover and the state
of the upper ocean. As part of the Surface Heat Budget of the Arctic (SHEBA)
project, this research was designed to (1) investigate upper ocean processes
and their role in ice-albedo feedback, and (2) develop and test suitable
models or parameterizations for use in large-scale simulations. Data are in
space-delimited ASCII text format and are available via FTP.
