Long-term observations on the Bering Sea shelf: biophysical mooring data from
site 2
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/245.B52-002

Summary
Biophysical measurements have been made at mooring Site 2 (56.88N, 164.03W)
almost continuously since 1995, providing the longest near continuous
time-series of biophysical variables on the Bering Sea shelf. A series of
moorings have also been deployed at Site 4 (57.85N, 168.87W) since 1995,
providing almost six years of more sporadic data. In addition, another series
of moorings have been deployed at Site 5 (59.90N, 171.70W) from 2004 to
present. Added to the biophysical data collected by the moorings, water
property measurements have been made at locations around the moorings and
along the 70-m transect since 1995. Such long-term observations provide
critical data that allow characterizations of interannual variability,
quantification of regime shifts and climate change. This project partially
funds continued measurements at Site 2 with water samples and plankton samples
around the mooring site and along the monitoring line.
