  2. This dataset contains upper ocean temperature and salinity profiles made during July – September, 2020 as part of the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition in the Central Arctic. The primary aim of these profiles was to capture the stratification of the upper ocean due to meltwater input throughout the summer melt season and the transition to fall freeze-up. The dataset includes data from two instruments: (i) YSI probe, and (ii) Sontek Castaway. The YSI probe was used to take point measurements of temperature and salinity, allowing for more fine-scale profiles in the upper couple of meters. The Sontek Castaway is a small conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) device that was used to make profiles over the upper 10s of meters, here typically in complement to the YSI observations, and are processed to 15 centimeters (cm) vertical resolution. Profiles were made in two primary locations: (i) near-surface of leads surrounding the sea ice floe, using both YSI and Castaway, and (ii) upper ocean directly beneath the sea ice, typically using YSI only. A small number of additional observations were made in coincident melt ponds and the upper ocean directly underneath. Details of collection and processing methods, including quality control for both instruments, can be found in data archive descriptions.
