Abstract:
This project is a continuation of a long-term partnership between NOAA and NPRB. Moorings have been maintained on the southeastern Bering Sea shelf at four sites: M2 (56.9 N, 164.1 W) since 1995, M4 (57.9 N, 168.9 W) since 1996, M5 (59.9 N, 171.7 W) and M8 (62.2 N 174.7 W) since 2004. This project together with research by the NOAA program North Pacific Climate Research and Ecosystem Productivity (NPCREP) will continue these measurements for the next three years (2008-2010). These moorings, together with observations along the 70 m isobath, are core to the long-term observations on the Bering Sea shelf. All four moorings are deployed on the 70m isobath. Key findings including the Oscillating Control Hypothesis (OCH), timing of spring bloom, the magnitude of increased temperature (>2 deg. C) and stability in the nutrient supply have all been a result of the data collected on these moorings. Data from M2 has quantified the warming that occurred over the southern shelf during 2001-2005. This project (O1.1) will continue the time series of temperature, salinity, fluorescence, currents, zooplankton abundance (TAPS-8 at M2 and possibly M4), nitrate, and oxygen (at M2 and possibly M5) at four mooring sites on the Bering Sea shelf. In addition during the late spring and summer a surface mooring (two if ice permits) will be deployed that will measure meteorological variables (air temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, wind velocity and solar radiation PAR). The surface moorings permit real time reporting of selected data. Data from these moorings are also critical to model verification. Products include mixed layer depth, heat content, temperature, position of the transition between southern pelagic-dominated shelf and northern benthic-dominated shelf, advection, nutrient supply and timing of the spring phytoplankton bloom.
Purpose:
Time series measurements of currents and other water properties provide necessary metrics for describing this area as well as a background for observing anomolous events as they occur.

Overview_Description:
Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
Time series data from mooring site M8. Instruments are internally recording and placed at various depths on a line anchored to the bottom. Measured variables include current velocity, temperature, conductivity, pressure, fluorometer voltage, and ecofluorometer voltage of the water. Spring and summer deployments generally have a surface buoy with meteorological instruments that measure wind velocity, air temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity and shortwave solar radiation.
