Summary of Field Work: |
The requested multidisciplinary cruise would collect physical, chemical and biological data over most of the eastern Bering Sea shelf and a few locations in the Bering Sea Basin in summer of 2009. In addition to the hydrographic stations and biological/chemical process stations, a few moorings may be deployed/recovered. A similar cruise will be requested in 2010. |

Summary of Facility Requirements: |
A large vessel capable of accommodating up to 50 scientists is required |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
The cruise requires the requested dates in order to sample the early summer zooplankton and nekton populations which follows the earlier spring cruise that investigates the direct effect of ice on Bering Sea productivity. |
