CTD data from the SWERUS-C3 expedition 2014 in the Arctic Ocean
Göran Björk
The data set includes CTD data (conductivity, temperature, and depth in the water column) from the SWERUS-C3 (Swedish-Russian-US Arctic Ocean Investigation of Climate-Cryosphere-Carbon Interactions) expedition in 2014 with Swedish icebreaker (IB) Oden. The data was taken August 15 – September 25, 2014 and includes 155 CTD stations mainly located along the Siberian shelf and slope.

Data description
Parameters in the data file are pressure (dbar), temperature (°C), salinity (PSU), oxygen concentration (µmol/kg) and turbidity (Volts). The quality flags are according to the WHP CTD data quality codes: 1. Not calibrated, 2. Acceptable measurement, 3. Questionable measurement, 4. Bad measurement, 5. Not reported, 6. Interpolated over >2 dbar interval, 7. Despiked, 8. Not assigned for CTD data, 9. Not sampled.
Project
These data are collected within the SWERUS-C3 project supported by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation as well as the project “Sources and sinks of carbon dioxide in a changing Arctic Ocean and their impact on ocean acidification” supported by the Swedish Research Council. The latter project aims at increasing our understanding of the feedbacks among the physical and biogeochemical components of the Arctic Ocean carbon system, which comprise the assessment of carbon transformation on the large shelf areas and the exchange with the deep central basins, as well as likely changes in the effect on vertical carbon flux by export of marine produced organic matter to the deep central Arctic Ocean when the sea ice coverage is absent during the productive summer season.
