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.
