Zooplankton, salinity, fluorescence, and temperature data were collected from the ALPHA HELIX from July 22, 1999 to August 14, 1999. Data were submitted by University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science. Data were collected using oblique tows in Bering Sea.

Zooplankton data were collected using zooplankton net casts in Bering Sea from THOMAS G. THOMPSON. Data were collected from 01 April 1980 to 13 October 1981 by University of Alaska with support from the Processes and Resources of the Bering Sea Shelf (PROBES) project.

Zooplankton and other data were collected using CalVet net in Bering sea from ALPHA HELIX. Data were collected from 01 June 1997 to 01 September 1998 by University of Alaska in Fairbanks with support from the Inner Front project.

Zooplankton data were collected using net casts in the Bering Sea from NOAA Ship DISCOVERER from 03 August 1976 to 17 August 1976. Data were collected by University of Alaska in Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science with support from the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) project.

Data were submitted by University of Alaska Institute of Marine Science as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) project. Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard F024 - Zooplankton data format. The F024 Zooplankton data format is designed to support studies for determining seasonal density distributions of zooplankton. Information on diversity, abundance and productivity can be derived from the data reported in this format. The format consists of eight data records for reporting cruise information, position, date and time, sample depths as well as haul data such as gear type, haul distribution and total wet and dry weight. The zooplankton catch is reported by species and includes fields for wet and dry weight and the number of adults, juveniles, eggs and larvae. A text record also is available for additional comments. A plankton data record gives estimated density information. An ichthyoplankton data record is also present.

Plankton and other data were collected using zooplankton net from NOAA Ship MILLER FREEMAN in the Bering Sea from the 16 April 1977 to 15 May 1977. Data were collected by National Marine Fisheries Service with support from the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) project.

Individual Animal and other data were collected using visual observation and other instruments from AIRCRAFT in the Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea, and Arctic Ocean. Data were collected from 02 September 1990 to 07 November 1991 by US DOI; Minerals Management Service in Anchorage (MMS). Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Marine Mammal Sighting and Census (F127) format. The F127 format is used for data from field observations of marine animals. Data may be reported either for individual, random sightings or for sightings made as part of systematic ship or aircraft surveys along specified tracks. These data provide information on animal population densities and distributions, activities, migratory routes and breeding locales. Cruise or survey information, start and end positions, start and end times, and platform speed, direction, and altitude are reported for each observation or series of observations. Position, date and time are reported for each sighting location, along with a code indicating presence or absence of animals and, if present, their distance to the observer, shoreline, and ice edge and heading direction. For each sighting location, animal sighting data are reported by species for all observed species. Species identification, total number of individuals, and counts by age group (adults, subadults, juveniles, unknown) may be reported in summary for all animals sighted or by subgroups distinguished by sex, behavior, markings, or other characteristics. A text record is available for comments.

Zooplankton, temperature, species identification, and other data were collected from ALPHA HELIX using net casts in the Bering Sea. Data were collected from 03 June 1997 to 07 June 1999 by University of Alaska/IMS in Fairbanks, Alaska with support from Inner Front project.

This data set consists of Pelagic bird sighting data from the Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska. These data were collected early in the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP), 1975 to 1979 on the RV'S DEMERSAL, HOKUSEI MARU, TUSTUMENCA, ALEUTIAN TERN, COMMANDO, MILLER FREEMAN, OSHORO MARU, SHAG and THE DISCOVERER. The data were edited by Drs. Calvin Lensink and Patrick Gould at the Fish and Wildlife Service office in Anchorage, Alaska, and submitted by Nancy Clayton from the University of Rhode Island. The data are in NODC file type F033 format.
