August-October 2022 Beaufort Sea biogeochemistry from the Carbon Levels at the Arctic Salinity-Stratified Sea Ice Edge (CLASSSIE) cruise
Year: 2026
Type: dataset
Abstract: This data set includes sensor and discrete measurements of carbonate system parameters of near-surface seawater collected between August 14 and October 1, 2022, in the Beaufort Sea during the CLASSSIE (Carbon Levels at the Arctic Salinity-Stratified Sea Ice Edge) project. Underway measurements of CO2 by shower-head equilibration and NDIR were recorded on the RV Woldstad, using seawater pumped from two intake depths, the Salinity Snake at 2 cm (centimeter) and the Ship intake at 4 meters. In addition, Dissolved Inorganic Carbon (DIC) was measured from the 2cm Snake intake by acidification and NDIR quantification as CO2. Discrete measurements of Total Alkalinity (TA), DIC, and pH were made on Niskin-bottle samples collected at 12 stations and analyzed at the NOAA AOML laboratory in Miami, FL. pH sensors were deployed on a Waveglider at depths of 0m (meter) and 8m. Measurements of other ocean properties including salinity, temperature, and sea-ice cover were made simultaneously from multiple observing platforms, including buoys, aircraft, and satellites, as part of the SASSSIE (Salinity and Stratification at the Sea Ice Edge) project funded by NASA.
