Global phytoplankton production monthly maps for 2017 are produced using an artificial neural network to perform a generalized nonlinear regression of PP on several predictive variables, including latitude, longitude, day length, MLD, SST, PBopt computed according to Behrenfeld and Falkowski (1997), PAR and CHL(0 m). More details about this model can be found in Scardi (2001). Behrenfeld, M. J., Falkowski, P. G.

In September 2009, a ship-based study was carried out in the Davis Strait/southern Baffin Bay along a range of transects covering the area between the west coast of Greenland and Baffin Island (Canada) from 68-72º N . Water temperature, salinity and in situ chlorophyll a (chl. a) measured in 0-500 m depths followed the general hydrographical characteristics of the late summer situation. Surface chl. a concentration based on remote sensing satellite data from September 2009 supported these findings. Measurement of in situ chl. a concentrations revealed a maximum in the subsurface (30-50 m water depths). Thus, spatial distribution of the phytoplankton bloom was often restricted to subsurface rather than the surface waters and therefore not detected by the remote sensing during September.

This dataset is included the following parameters: Meteorological: air tTemperature,humidity,pressure,wind speed,wind direction. Hydrology: temperature,salinity,density. Hydrochemistry: oxygen,phosphate,silicate,oxygen,pH,alkalinity.

This dataset is associated with the publication by Nicole Couto, Jennifer MacKinnon, Harper Simmons, and Matthew Alford, "Near-bottom baroclinic and submesoscale instability at the Chukchi shelfbreak." Four FastCTD sections and one Modular Microstructure Profiler (MMP) were collected crossing the Chukchi shelf break in September 2018 from the R/V Sikuliaq. Current velocities were measured simultaneously from two hull-mounted ADCPS: an RDI Workhorse 300 kHz and an RDI Ocean Surveyor 75 kHz.

As part of the STeP project (STorfjorden Polynya multidisciplinary study), two moorings, M1 and M2, were deployed in Storfjorden (Svalbard) on July 14, 2016 from the French R/V L’Atalante and were recovered one year later, on September 28, 2017, from the French R/V Pourquoi-Pas?. The two moorings, deployed a few hundred meters apart at 78°N and 20°E at a depth of 100m, documented the formation of dense Brine-enriched Shelf Water (BSW).  The moorings included both physical oceanography (PO) and biogeochemistry sensors. The present dataset is composed of PO data only: the 3 components of the currents, backscatter, salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen. PO sensors on M1, spanning the whole water column, included 6 Seabird SBE37 microcat (CTD),  15 RBR solo (T), and 1 RBR duet (TD) for hydrography, while currents were monitored with a RDI WH 300kHz upward looking ADCP and 1 Nortek Aquadopp underneath. PO sensors on the shorter M2 mooring included 1 Seabird SBE63 (CTD-O2), 1 RBR solo (T) and 1 RBR duo (TD). Data have been calibrated and validated and the different steps of this processing are discussed in the technical report provided with the dataset. Two netcdf4 files are provided for M1: one for hydrography (STEP2016_M1_hydrography.nc), the other one (STEP2016_M1_current.nc)  for currents and backscatter. Only one netcdf4 files (STEP2016_M2_hydrography.nc) is provided for the shorter M2. Temperature and salinity data from SBE sensors have been interpolated on a common time grid with a 20’ time step. Likewise temperature data from RBR are provided on a 30” time grid. A merged SBE-RBR dataset has also been built for increased vertical resolution, providing temperature every 20’. ADCP data are provided on a 100’ time grid. The user is referred to the technical report provided with the dataset for further information on the different fields.

The two platforms IAOOS 23 and IAOOS 24 were deployed within 600 m from each other at the North Pole from the Russia-operated Barneo ice camp on April 12, 2017. They followed a meandering trajectory, reaching as far as 30°E in the Nansen Basin, before turning back to the western Fram Strait. On both IAOOS 23 and 24, the ocean profiler was a PROVOR SPI (from French manufacturer NKE) equipped with a Seabird SBE41 CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) and a dissolved oxygen (DO) Aandera 4330 optode. For the first time, the profiler on IAOOS 23 also carried biogeochemical sensors. It featured a bio-optics sensor suite and a submersible ultraviolet nitrate analyzer (SUNA, Satlantic-Seabird Inc.). The bio-optics sensor suite (called Pack Rem A) combines a three-optical-sensor instrument (ECO Triplet, WET Labs Inc.) and a multispectral radiometer (OCR-504, Satlantic Inc.). The present dataset is composed of CTD-DO data from IAOOS 23 and 24, corrected from the thermal lag and the sensor lag, despiked and interpolated vertically every 0.5 m. It also comprises nitrate concentrations from the SUNA and CDOM fluorescence from the WETLabs ECO sensor on IAOOS 23. Other biogeochemical data will be added to this dataset. The profilers were set to perform two upward profiles a day from 250 m (IAOOS 23) and 350 m (IAOOS 24) upward starting at approximately 6 am and 6 pm. They provided a unique 8-month long dataset, gathering a total of 793 profiles of the temperature, salinity and oxygen (upper 350m) and 427 profiles of CDOM and nitrates concentrations (upper 250m).   Important Note: This submission has been initially submitted to SEA scieNtific Open data Edition (SEANOE) publication service and received the recorded DOI.

IAOOS14, IAOOS15 and IAOOS25 were deployed from the Korean Icebreaker R/V Araon during cruises in the northern Chukchi Sea. IAOOS14 and IAOOS15 were deployed 300 m apart on the same floe on 12 August 2015 in the Makarov Basin (80.8°N;173°E) and they drifted together remaining always less than 6 km apart. IAOOS25 was deployed on 15 August 2017 south-west Mendeleev Ridge (77.7°N;180°E) and drifted westward to the continental slope of the East Siberian Sea. IAOOS14 and IAOOS25 stopped transmitting on 9 October 2015 and 19 November 2017 respectively, likely due to the loss of their profilers while crossing relatively shallow bathymetry. IAOOS15 dataset ends in 15 October 2015. Ocean profilers were PROVOR SPI (from French manufacturer NKE) equipped with a Seabird SBE41 CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) and a dissolved oxygen (DO) Aandera 4330 optode. The profilers were set to perform two upward profiles a day from 800 m (IAOOS 14), 300 m (IAOOS 15) and 420 m (IAOOS 25), upward starting at approximately 6 am and 6 pm. The present dataset is composed of CTD-DO data from IAOOS 14 and 15, and CTD data from IAOOS 25 in the Makarov Basin, corrected from salinity errors and interpolated vertically every 0.5 m.

In the Northwest Atlantic, Pandalus borealis (northern shrimp) serve as key mid-trophic consumers and prey for higher-trophic predators, including commercially important fish species. However, the impact of changing environmental conditions on trophic interactions and lipid storage in sub-Arctic ecosystems is not well understood. We employed biochemical tracers (fatty acids and stable isotopes) to investigate the trophic ecology and stage-specific nutritional condition of P. borealis across spatial and seasonal scales. A total of 68 different fatty acids (FAs) were identified in P. borealis tissues (i.e., muscle and eggs). The relative abundances of these FAs varied among sex, tissues, seasons, and fishing areas. Results revealed that P. borealis primarily fed on diatoms and zooplankton, with opportunistic feeding on sinking phytodetritus. Lipid composition showed strong seasonality, with storage triacylglycerols being the predominant lipid class. Ovigerous females exhibited the highest lipid concentrations and essential fatty acids, emphasizing the ecological importance of eggs as high-quality lipid sources. Additionally, total lipid content in eggs increased from spring to summer, highlighting vulnerability to shifts in seasonal primary production. This study underscores the significant seasonal variability in the nutritional status of P. borealis and the need to understand lipid dynamics to assess population resilience to environmental changes.
