Stratified Ocean Dynamics of the Arctic (SODA) FastCTD, MMP, and ADCP datasets from the Chukchi shelf break

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.
