Seawater Chemistry from the North Pole Environmental Observatory, 2000-2005

Entry ID: ARCSS095

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This data set includes diverse measurements of seawater chemistry along with supplementary conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD); pressure; salinity; potential temperature; and density data from the Arctic Ocean near the North Pole. Measurements were taken from sea ice platforms each April or May from 2000-2005. Investigators used a CTD-O₂ system to measure seawater conductivity, ...
