Full Title:
A Service Proposal to Examine Impacts of Sea Ice on Hydrographic Structure and Nutrients over the Eastern Bering Sea Shelf during Summer
Abstract or Short Description:
Funds are provided to collect, quality control, analyze, and distribute to all BEST investigators the core physical and chemical observations collected on the BEST summer cruise as a service component of the larger ecosystem program. The PIs will also examine the persistence of along- and across-shelf gradients of temperature, salinity, fluorescence, oxygen, nutrients and currents by integrating data from the hydrographic surveys in summer with trajectories from satellite-tracked drifters, data from other cruises, and data from long-term moorings (funded elsewhere).
