During an 8-day physical and biogeochemical cruise to the Bering Strait and southern Chukchi Sea,  three moorings (carrying current meters, temperature and salinity sensors, a nutrient sampler, a transmissometer and a fluorometer) deployed in the Bering Strait region for 1 year, were recovered and redeployed.  Nine CTD and ADCP sections, including water sampling for nutrients, O-18, CDOM and DOC, were run.
