Abstract
Seabird survey effort log from the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer NBP0103, NBP0104, NBP0202, NBP0204 from the Southern Ocean, 2001-2002, Southern Ocean GLOBEC project. These data are the logistics surrounding the Bird Studies Observations, rather than the observations themselves.

Dataset Description

Seabird Survey Effort Log

These data are the logistics surrounding the Bird Studies Observations, rather than the observations themselves.

PI NOTES:

1. Ice_Cover_Type is based on the ASPeCt (Antarctic Sea-Ice Process and Climate) classification system for sea ice and brash. Glacial ice listed as bergs or bergy bits.

2. Time and Date can be used in conjunction with alongtrack data to find position information.

Project Information

U.S. GLOBEC Southern Ocean (SOGLOBEC)


Coverage: Southern Ocean


The fundamental objectives of United States Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC) Program are dependent upon the cooperation of scientists from several disciplines. Physicists, biologists, and chemists must make use of data collected during U.S. GLOBEC field programs to further our understanding of the interplay of physics, biology, and chemistry. Our objectives require quantitative analysis of interdisciplinary data sets and, therefore, data must be exchanged between researchers. To extract the full scientific value, data must be made available to the scientific community on a timely basis.

Program Information

U.S. GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics (U.S. GLOBEC)


Coverage: Global


U.S. GLOBEC (GLOBal ocean ECosystems dynamics) is a research program organized by oceanographers and fisheries scientists to address the question of how global climate change may affect the abundance and production of animals in the sea.

The U.S. GLOBEC Program currently had major research efforts underway in the Georges Bank / Northwest Atlantic Region, and the Northeast Pacific (with components in the California Current and in the Coastal Gulf of Alaska). U.S. GLOBEC was a major contributor to International GLOBEC efforts in the Southern Ocean and Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP).
