Fig. 1. (a) Eastern Bering Sea (EBS) shelf. Black triangle: location of the M2 mooring, the source for temperature data used in this study; shaded blue hexagons: the binned density of survey observations across the EBS shelf (lighter blue: more survey locations or more frequent surveys than dark blue). Inset: survey area in the EBS (black polygon). (b) Frequency of days in April and May that have dominant southwest winds at the M2 mooring. (c) Cumulative spring degree days (°C) (day of year [DOY] 1–138) at the M2 mooring

We are back from the spring #BeringSea cruise! 🧪🌊🦑

Marine organisms sampled from a 500m deep Bongo net tow in the Bering Sea.

We’ve picked up a few new shipmates at our deeper stations. 🧪🌊🦑🐙

Larval fish collected in a Bongo net.

The #DY2504 zooplankton team collected this larval fish in a Bongo net in Unimak Pass.

University of Alaska Fairbanks research professor Dr. Jennifer Questel and undergraduate student Sammy bass deploy a CTD profiler to monitor the water column near a tidewater glacier in Alaska.

A conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) profiler is used to observe the water column and collect seawater samples in Alaska.

This week we are running Dr. Jennifer Questel's samples!
