SCIENTIFIC PURPOSE:

This cruise had two scientific goals. 

The first (and foremost) was the recovery and redeployment of moorings in the Bering Strait.  These moorings are part of a multi-year time-series (currently over 12 years long) of measurements of the flow through the Bering Strait.  The properties of this flow not only influence the Chukchi and Beaufort seas, but can also be traced across the Arctic Ocean to the Fram Strait and beyond.  The long-term monitoring of the inflow into the Arctic Ocean via the Bering Strait is important for understanding climatic change both locally and in the Arctic. 

Three moorings (A2 and A4, in the eastern channel of Bering Strait, and A3, ca. 35nm north of Bering Strait), which were deployed from the Alpha Helix last year, were to be recovered and redeployed.

All the moorings carry conventional instrumentation - current meters (RCM or ADCP), temperature and salinity sensors (SBE16).   In addition, moorings A2 and A3 carry Upward-Looking-Sonars (ULS).  The mooring A4 carries an upward looking ADCP (instead of the RCM) to study the coastal jet.  Mooring A3 also supports a nutrient sampler, and a transmissometer and a fluorometer (the latter two connected to the SBE16).  These instruments are from UAF and the replacement mooring also carries these sensors.  The current meters and ULSs allow the quantification of the movement of ice and water through the strait.  The nutrient sampler, the transmissometer and fluorometer yield the first biophysical time series measurements in the region, greatly advancing our understanding of the biological system in the Bering Strait and Chukchi Sea.

The second aim of the cruise was to conduct a hydrographic and ADCP survey of the Bering Strait and the southern part of the Chukchi Sea, concentrating on sections in the vicinity of the moorings and the region north of the mooring sites.  These CTD and nutrient measurements will be used to calibrate the moored instruments and to give a framework for the analysis of the data.  The hydrographic lines repeated and extended the sections from previous years, thus allowing an interannual comparison.  (This year, no EEZ application was made to work in Russian waters, and all work took place in the US EEZ.)   Post cruise data analysis will also draw on SeaWifs images kindly collected for us by Mike Schmidt, NASA.

In addition to maintaining the time series measurements in Bering Strait, this work also provides key boundary conditions for the Chukchi Shelf/Beaufort Sea region, the main work area of the NSF/ONR SBI (Shelf Basin Interaction) program, which is now in the second of its three field years.  It also complements other NSF grants.  Specifically the hydrography and O-18 sampling supports not only our analysis but also the sections taken by the Little Diomede Observatory (Cooper et al) and also student education by participation in this cruise of Justin Denton, (a chemistry student from SUNY, College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Chemistry Department, Syracuse, New York), and Anne Hess, (a trainee Marine Science Technician from the MATE Center, Monterey Peninsula College, California).

Pre-cruise, an invitation to take part in the cruise was extended to Sergey Pisarev (Shirshov Institute of Oceanology). However, due to visa issues, Sergey was unable to participate in the cruise.

 

 

CRUISE OBJECTIVES:

1.  To recover moorings A2-02, A3-02 and A4-02 (see Table 1).

2.  To deploy moorings A2-03, A3-03, and A4-03. 

3.  To run hydrographic casts (CTD and nutrients) and ADCP sections in the vicinity of the moorings and in the southern region of the Chukchi Sea (see Table 2 and Figure 1).

 

All the cruise objectives were successfully accomplished.  The moorings were recovered and redeployed, and a total of 123 CTD stations, and corresponding ADCP lines were run.  Sampling details are provided below.

SCIENCE PROGRAMS:

 

Although fog delayed mooring recoveries, prompt completion of the mooring work and subsequently reasonable weather allowed us to extend our CTD and ADCP sampling as far north as Cape Lisburne.

 

Mooring work:

All three moorings (see Table 1) were successfully and smoothly recovered and redeployed.  Releases functioned well.  All instrumentation was recovered in good condition.  Fouling was moderate, with a strong predominance of barnacles, especially on the upper instruments.  Unlike in previous years, A3-02 was the least fouled and A4 was the most fouled.  Rotors were still turning and salinity cells were clear.

 

All current meters (RCM7, RCM11 and the ADCP) and seacats yielded complete year long records (see the appendices).  Of the optics sensors on the A3 seacat, the fluorometer yielded a full year of data, whilst fouling of the lenses degraded the PAR and transmissometer data after 3 months.  The ULSs were still working on recovery and yielded good data throughout the year.  The NAS nitrate sensor contained almost 1500 data points which represents 150 days of data.  The nitrate data was very clean for the first two months but an increased scatter appears in the latter half of the record.  The summer drawdown and fall enrichment of nitrate was clearly observed in the record.     

 

CTD and ADCP work:

A total of 123 CTD casts were taken along 8 different sections (see map, Figure 1, and sections in the appendices).  The Bering Strait line (BSL) was CTDed twice, once at the start (BSL1) and once at the end (BSL2) of the cruise.  At each major section (BSL, MBS, NBS, A3L, CHUK and EEXT) the CTD line was either preceded or followed immediately by an ADCP line run at 7 knots.  The longer sections (PHL, CPL and CCL) could not be traversed twice and thus transit between CTD sections was undertaken at a compromise speed of ca. 8 knots, to acquire reasonable ADCP data whilst still maintaining quasi-synopticity of the line.  In the shallow, changeable shelf system, the latter is important, as witnessed by the differences between BSL1 and BSL2 taken 6 days apart.  Note also for example, section CCL took almost 36 hours to run, in part due to stormy weather conditions.  During this storm, the mixed layer depth presumably deepened throughout the Chukchi Sea.  However, since CCL was run from north to south the deeper mixed layer depths are only evident later in the section, (i.e. at the southern end). 

 

The CTD package carried sensors for temperature, conductivity, fluorescence, PAR and the comparatively new ISUS nitrate sensor.  Sections for these parameters are shown in the appendices.  As a trial set-up, the ISUS nitrate sensor was mounted in place of one of the bottles, with its sensors pointing up.  For a more permanent installation, the instrument should be mounted either below the bottles of the rosette or with its head down.  The instrument was found to require an eight minute warming up period before deployment.  Without this, spurious signals are evident in the upper part of the cast (see e.g. BSL1).

 

The sections show, for example, the warm fresh coastal current on the US coast.  The strength of this current is seen qualitatively also by increased ship drift during CTD casts in this area.  The deviations of the nutrient-rich western waters into the eastern side of the Chukchi Sea are also evident.  The high bottom maximum in nitrate on the PHL was associated with a concentration of grey whale sightings.  The changes in the BSL section over just a few days indicates the fast response to wind forcing. 

 

Nutrient Analysis work (Whitledge, Thornton, Lee):

A total of 485 nutrient samples were taken and analyzed on board for silicate, phosphate, nitrate, nitrite and ammonia by Whitledge, Thornton and Lee.  Preliminary section plots are included in the appendices.  In addition, at many stations samples were taken at surface, mid water column and bottom for chlorophyll, and at some stations samples were taken for size-fractionated chlorophyll, fractionated on 20um, 5um and GF/F filters.  At the four sites A2, A3, NBS12 and CCL15, primary productivity stations (stable isotope nutrient enrichment primary productivity experiments with 15N-labeled nitrate and ammonia and 13C-labeled carbon) were also run.

 

Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM) and DOC Analysis work and

sampling (Deal, Denton):

A total of 233 CDOM samples and 176 DOC samples were taken at the 34 sites listed below.  Some measurements of CDOM absorption spectra were made on board, while most of the measurements were made in the laboratory at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.  The DOC samples will be analyzed post cruise by Celine Guegen, IARC/Frontier.

CDOM and DOC seawater profiles were taken at 34 sites, namely

July 1: BSL-1,2,3,4,5 and 6,A2P

July 2: A3,A2,A4

July 3: NBS-12,9,6 and 3

July 4: CHUK-1,4 and 8

July 5: PHL1,3,6,9 and 11, CPL2 and 6

July 6: CPL8,CCL20,15 and 10

July 7: CCL6,8 and 4, BSL1,3 and 5

 

Oxygen isotope sampling (Woodgate for Cooper, Tennessee):

A total of 346 water samples were taken for O18 sampling.  Samples were taken at bottom, 5m and (where appropriate) midwater column at all stations except some of the productivity stations (see bottle list in the appendices).  These samples were sealed with parafilm and shipped to Lee Cooper at the University of Tennessee for later analysis.  To ensure the integrity of the bottle samples, when possible salinity samples (ca. 200) were taken from the bottles used for O18 samples.

 

Underway sampling:

Seachest data and standard underway meteorological sampling was conducted for the duration of the cruise.  These data will be combined with the CTD and ADCP data to elucidate spatial structures. 

 

SEAWIFs imagery:

Mike Schmidt, NASA, kindly supplied to the cruise any Seawifs images collected during the science mission.  Although extreme cloud cover prevented collection of a clear image of the entire work area, useful part-area images were collected.  These 2-dimensional images (see the appendices will aid analysis of the highly spatially variable water mass structures in the region.

 

Educational Outreach:

Two students took part in the cruise. 

Justin Denton, (a chemistry student from SUNY, College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Chemistry Department, Syracuse, New York), assisted with the CDOM and DOC sampling (Deal, see above).

Anne Hess, (a trainee Marine Science Technician from the MATE Center, Monterey Peninsula College, California) gained experience of CTD and mooring work during the cruise, including running a CTD watch, O18 and salinity sampling and CTD operations.

APPENDICES:

 

A) CTD sections for           BSL1

                                            BSL2

                                            MBS

                                            NBS

                                            A3L

                                            CHUK + EEXT

                                            PHL

                                            CPL

                                            CCL

Each page shows temperature, salinity, sigma-theta, Fluorescence, PAR and ISUS nitrate.  Vertical axis is pressure in dbar.  This data is preliminary, post-cruise, without significant quality control.  In the biological parameters, these results should be taken only qualitatively.  The ISUS readings, especially, require significant work at the early sections, e.g. BSL1.

 

B) Nutrient sections for      BSL1

                                            BSL2

                                            MBS

                                            NBS

                                            A3L

                                            CHUK + EEXT

                                            PHL

                                            CPL

                                            CCL

Each page shows phosphate, silicate, total nitrogen, nitrate and ammonia.  Vertical axis is pressure in dbar.  All other units are micromolar (uM).  This data is preliminary, post-cruise, without significant quality control.

 

C) Preliminary Current Meter  and SBE Results

Results using rough calibrations only.  All current directions are magnetic, i.e. not corrected for local declination.

 

D) SeaWifs images

 

E) O18 bottle logs (paper copy only)

 

F) Cruise photos (including instrument fouling)
